December 14, 2024, at 9 a.m. – The ceremony will take place inside the chapel at 9 a.m. Seating is very limited. We ask that children sit on laps of their parents.
Please remember the placement of wreaths and the chapel ceremony is to honor those we have lost. The event is open to the public and we ask you to take time when placing a wreath on a grave of our fallen heroes and say a few words.
Parking is very limited inside the cemetery grounds. Larger trucks/SUVs and buses will need to park outside of the cemetery on Commons Way or Buchanan Blvd.
Placement of Wreaths in the Cemetery: 9:45 a.m. – At approximately 9:45 a.m. behind the chapel wreaths purchased for grave specific can be picked up with the receipt of purchase. Group Orders: Larger group orders for grave specifics can be picked up behind the chapel with photo ID of the person from the group who purchased the wreaths.
REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Let’s come out and decorate this sacred area for these special people.
