You will give your community the opportunity to place roses at veterans’ gravesites at your local cemetery.
Roses for your Community
Invite your customers to your branch/store to receive a complimentary rose to give to a veteran or place on a headstone during Memorial Day weekend. Conversely, you can hand them out at your local cemetery, or ask your associates to perform the Memorial Day Flower Tribute.
The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation will send a box of 125 roses by FedEx/UPS directly to your store on the Thursday or Friday before Memorial Day weekend.
Printable artwork for official banners and personalizable flyers is included with every order.
For every box ordered through this program, 50 flowers will be given to visitors at Arlington National Cemetery over Memorial Day weekend.
