Welcome to the Rochelle Chapter NSDAR's Wreaths Across America Page.
On Saturday, December 14, 2024, the Rochelle Chapter will hold ceremonies at Woodlawn Cemetery at 10am and at Daysville Cemetery at 2:30 pm to Remember and Honor our veterans by placing Remembrance wreaths at the graves of our country's fallen heroes. On Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 1pm, the wreath laying ceremony will take place at St. Patrick's Cemetery in Rochelle. An abbreviated ceremony will take place at Lawnridge after the conclusion of the ceremony at St. Patrick's.
We will also be accepting grave specific requests at St Patrick's, Lawnridge and Trinity Cemeteries in Rochelle, Daysville Cemetery in Oregon, Woodlawn in Creston, and soon to come at Palmyra Cemetery in Dixon. You may attend to place the wreath on a specific grave, if you wish.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
The deadline for placing your wreath order is the last Tuesday of November!
Thank you so much for supporting the Rochelle Chapter NSDAR and Wreaths Across America!
