By choosing to make a Grave Specific Request, you’re sponsoring a veteran’s wreath and requesting that it be placed at a specific marker within a participating cemetery location. Please understand that our volunteers do their very best to ensure that all requests are fulfilled to the best of their ability on National Wreaths Across America Day. To make a Grave Specific Request, please be sure that all location details, including: section, row, marker number, and any other information (i.e., columbarium) are accurately included in your order. Wreaths Across America does not have access to cemetery records or databases and relies on you to provide these details.

If you choose to place your Grave Specific Wreath yourself, please arrive early so that another well-meaning volunteer does not unintentionally honor your loved one by placing a wreath on their marker before you are able to do so. Another way to avoid this situation is to invite a friend or relative to attend with you and have that person wait at your loved one's grave site while you pick up your wreath. 

What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? Sponsoring a veteran’s wreath is a personal gift of gratitude and remembrance for someone who served this country so that we can be free. 

Your sponsorship supports the yearlong mission to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom, while making new and existing free programs available to the masses. With each sponsorship made, a veteran’s wreath will be placed to honor an American hero at our participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day.

With each veteran’s wreath placed by a volunteer, we ask that they “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service, and sacrifice is never forgotten.
