REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to the Ocean View Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 13, 2025 at 11:00 am (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Ocean View 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.
Our town officials, Fire Department, Police Department, Veteran Affairs Committee, Rotary Club and Elks Club, along with the public, will be honoring our veterans with a brief service in the cemetery followed by the placing of several hundred wreaths on the graves. Each wreath placed will be done so, with honor and grace, with every name spoken out loud as a way to honor and remember those who have passed.
It is said that everyone dies twice. The first when their body loses life, and second when their name is spoken for the last time. Stating the name of a loved one at a grave will always ensure that their memory will last forever.
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.
As a reminder, the cut off date to sponsor a wreath is December 3rd!
Thank you so much for supporting Ocean View Cemetery and Wreaths Across America!
