Ceremony and Volunteer Information

Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:

  • Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
  • While we want to involve as many people as possible with the wreath laying, we have a limited number of graves.  When we are ready to place in the individual wreaths please go to where the scouts are standing in each section of the cemetery for wreaths, instructions and honor guard to the grave.  Please follow their instructions.
