Welcome to the Raleigh National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Raleigh National Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.

Directions to Cemetery

Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the cemetery. Use Raleigh National Cemetery, Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, NC 27610.  When you arrive, please follow the people and signs to the site of the ceremony itself.  Entrance to the ceremony is off Rock Quarry Road and normally will have a semi truck at the entrance.

Parking Instructions

There is plenty of parking near the cemetery and the elementary school across the street, so feel free to park in any available spot. Please do not park inside the cemetery circle as this inhibits the Wreath Delivery Convoy.  Also, if you're in a motorcycle group please allow enough room for the wreath delivery truck to back in and to pull back out once wreath unloading is complete.

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Raleigh National Cemetery at 10:00am. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.
