Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization that comes to the cemetery to lay wreaths. OWRL will play a part in helping to sponsor wreaths and coordinate volunteers.
WAA is NOT a cemetery event, it is only an event that happens ON the cemetery. OWRL coordinates this event as it supports our families through the season.
This year's Wreath Laying will be on Dec 13, 2025
