Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Christmas grave cross and how is it used?

A Christmas grave cross is a fresh evergreen arrangement in the shape of a cross, placed at the head of a grave to honor a loved one during the holiday season. It is staked into the ground using the included metal stakes and serves as a meaningful, fragrant memorial tribute throughout the Christmas season.

How long will a fresh Fraser Fir grave cross last outdoors?

Outdoors in cool winter temperatures, a fresh Fraser Fir grave cross typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks or longer. Cold and freezing temperatures actually help preserve fresh greens and extend their life — making cemetery use ideal for fresh-cut arrangements. Fraser Fir is specifically chosen for its superior needle retention compared to Balsam, Douglas, and other fir species.

What is the difference between Natural, Gold Fern, and Silver Fern styles?

All three styles use the same fresh Fraser Fir and cedar base with pine cones, red berries, and a velvet bow. The Natural style showcases the pure deep-green evergreen look. Gold Fern adds warm gold-accented fern fronds for a luminous, festive accent. Silver Fern adds cool silver-accented fern fronds for a serene, elegant look.

How is the grave cross installed at the cemetery?

Position the cross at the head of the grave site, then press the 2 included metal ground stakes through the cross frame into the ground. The stakes hold the cross securely even in wind and winter weather. No additional tools or hardware are needed.

When does this ship?

Each grave cross is made fresh to order and ships within 1 business day. Shipping begins November 16, 2026. Availability runs November 9 through December 20, 2026.

What size is the grave cross?

The outside dimensions are 42 inches tall × 30 inches wide — a generous, full-sized display appropriate for standard cemetery grave sites.

Is this a good memorial gift?

Yes — a fresh Christmas grave cross is one of the most meaningful ways to honor a loved one during the holiday season. It is also a thoughtful gift for a grieving family member who wants to place a tribute at a grave site but may not be able to do so themselves.

Why Fraser Fir is the Best Choice for Grave Crosses

• Rich, classic Christmas fragrance: The beloved scent of Abies fraseri fills the air around the grave site
• Strong branch structure: Holds decorations securely throughout the season
• Deep green color: Stays vibrant and beautiful through the holiday season
• Soft, flat needles: Silvery undersides create a lush, full appearance
