16in Nylon Black Mourning Bow
16in Nylon Black Mourning Bow
×
When the US flag is mounted or hanging where it cannot be lowered to half-staff, the proper way to indicate mourning is by affixing a black ribbon or bow just above the flag and below the ornament or spearhead. This 16-inch black mourning bow is made of nylon, making it durable and usable for indoor and outdoor flags.
Please note this is the mourning bow only, flagpole kit and flag are sold separately.
Not sure when to attach the bow to your flag? Times of mourning where the flag should be at half-staff are as follows:
- Following the death of the President or a former President, the flag should be flown at half-staff for 30 days.
- Following the death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice, a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the flag should be flown at half-staff for 10 days.
- Following the death of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, the flag should be flown at half-staff from the day of death until interment.
- Following the death of a Member of Congress, the flag should be flown at half-staff the day of death and the following day.
Other times throughout the year the flag should be at half-staff are:
- National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service - First Weekend In May
- Peace Officer Memorial Day - May 15
- Memorial Day (Until Noon) - Last Monday In May
- Patriot Day - Septebmer 11

Restrictions
Common Carrier & Freight Shipping
Items that are too large to ship by standard ground carrier such as UPS or FedEx are required to ship freight. Orders and items that are shipped by freight are delivered on a large truck, such as a 26 ft. box truck or a tractor-trailer.
- Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number that has an estimated delivery date to your local freight terminal.
- The carrier will call you at your provided phone number to schedule a delivery appointment within the next 1-2 business days. Only weekday appointments are available. If you are unable to receive the shipment within 1-2 business days of its arrival at the freight terminal, contact us at 1-877-732-2458
- All standard freight shipments are delivered curbside. The driver will bring the item to the curb and is not authorized to move it further. Anything past curbside delivery must be arranged before placing the order.
- Most freight orders are delivered on a pallet. If you do not have a dock height delivery door, you most likely will require a truck with a lift gate. This is an additional charge and can be added to your order at the time it is placed. Please call 1-877-732-2458 for additional information.
- Upon delivery, you will need to inspect and sign for the shipment. Prior to signing, any visible damage to the shipment and products, along with any missing items, must be noted on the delivery receipt. We need to be notified of product damage and missing parts within one business day of receiving your shipment.
Freight Charges
Commercial Flagpoles - As these flagpoles ship by truck out of different locations based on availability, our calculator is not able to calculate the exact freight charges. Please call us for a firm freight quote. If you select this shipping option you will get a very approximate freight cost based on the value of the shipment. You may also place the order using any shipping method and we will contact you with the actual cost. You may cancel the order at that point without any penalty. We do not ship commercial poles to Alaska or Hawaii.
Promotional Rules
Custom Flags, Commercial Flagpoles, Select Residential Poles, Galvanized Ground Sleeves, and Commercial Sectionals are excluded from promotional offers unless otherwise specified within the promotion. Whether listed as excluded within the promotion or not there are no exceptions, or implied promotions for listed products above.
Interruption of Service
Online Stores, USPS and UPS shall not be liable for any interruption of service due to causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to, the following: the unavailability or refusal of a person to accept delivery of the shipment; acts of God; acts of public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority; acts or omissions of customs or similar authorities; insufficient information provided by a customer; the application of security regulations imposed by the government, or otherwise applicable to the shipment; riots, strikes or other labor disputes; civil unrest; disruptions in air or ground transportation networks and natural disasters.
Economy Shipping Takes 3-10 Business Days and Is Not Guaranteed
Transit Times
Shipments are made by UPS, FedEx, or US mail from our warehouse in Pittsburgh, PA. Days of transit are business days from when we ship your order, depending on which delivery method you choose, and do not include weekend or holidays like Thanksgiving.
We strive to ship within same day on orders that are placed by 1:00 PM EST. Sometimes a delay will occur if we are out of stock or if it is something we normally don't stock i.e. large state and world flags. Other items do list shipping time on their specific web pages. In this case, special orders will ship within 5-7 business days. Expedited orders only will be notified of any delays.
Delivery will not be made on a weekend unless special Saturday delivery is arranged. This service is available at an extra cost to certain areas specified by our carriers. Please contact us for availability to make arrangements.
Which Shipping Option is best?
- Economy – This method is best if you are not in a rush. Economy shipping will work for USPS PO Boxes, APO and FPO addresses. This will include shipping methods of UPS & FedEx Ground & USPS.
- 3 Day - Takes 3 days for delivery and costs more than Economy. This option is good if you are on the west coast and need your order within 3 days. 3 Day shipping is available to US only and cannot be used for APO or FPO addresses.
- 2 Day – Takes 2 days for delivery and costs much more than Economy. Orders shipped via this method arrive by the end of the second business day after shipping. 2 Day shipping is available to US only and cannot be used for APO or FPO addresses.
- Next Day – Next Day shipping offers guaranteed overnight delivery for day-definite shipments. Next Day shipping is available to US only and cannot be used for APO or FPO addresses.
- Alaska, Hawaii and APO Addresses - Shipments to Hawaii and Alaska can now be shipped by Economy. In some cases our shipping calculator may underestimate the actual shipping costs if the package is oversized. In this case we will notify you of any additional charges before shipping. You may cancel your order at this point without penalty.
