Introduction
All Saints' Day is a special opportunity to pay tribute to our loved ones with flowers. However, keeping flowers fresh and beautiful at the cemetery can be a challenge, especially when they are exposed to the elements. In this article, we give you some practical tips for caring for flowers and ensuring that your bouquet stays beautiful for as long as possible.
1. Choose the Right Flowers
Some flowers are more resistant to outdoor conditions, such as sun and wind, than others. When selecting flowers for your cemetery, opt for long-lasting options such as:
• Chrysanthemums: They are very resistant and can last several days outdoors.
• Carnations: Another hardy flower that holds up well in outdoor conditions.
• Gladioli: With their long and firm stem, these flowers are ideal for lasting longer.

2. Provide Fresh Water and Change the Water Regularly
If possible, bring a small container of water to place the bouquet in at the cemetery. Fresh water is key to prolonging the life of the flowers. Also, if you have the opportunity to visit the cemetery frequently, change the water every few days to prevent it from becoming stagnant.
3. Avoid Direct Exposure to the Sun
When placing flowers in the cemetery, try to find a spot with partial shade so that the flowers do not receive direct sunlight all day, which can cause them to wilt more quickly.
4. Consider Preserved Flowers
If you prefer not to worry about maintenance, preserved flowers are a great alternative. They retain their beauty for months or even years, without the need for additional water or care. You can explore our preserved flower options in our All Saints' Day collection .

Caring for your cemetery flowers is one way to prolong the beauty of your memorial. With proper care and choosing the right flowers, you can ensure that your bouquet remains vibrant and beautiful for longer.
