Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at GATE OF HEAVEN CEMETERY. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! 

Please email if you need info: dpalazzo@westchesteresq.com

Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:

• There is a formal ceremony before we place the wreaths.
• Be aware that placing wreaths involves walking. Locating a grave is not always easy. We do offer a map for guidance.
• The ceremony is outside, rain or snow, it goes. Dress warmly.
• Plenty of on site parking. Bathrooms available.
• Use the entry gate off the Taconic Pkwy (Stevens Ave.). If you come in the Bradhurst gate, follow the signs to the office then look for the large flag pole.
• Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
• Complimentary light refreshments usually available.

The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
