Thank you for abiding by the Cemetery's rules and regulations. The rules have been instrumental to maintaining the cemetery grounds free of any safety hazards to the cemetery staff, landscapers, and all visitors.
God bless you and give you peace during any difficult times.
Flags are permitted from Memorial Day until Independence Day (July 4th).
If your deceased family member was a veteran and a registered member of a local VFW or other veteran organization, they may place a flag at their gravesite. You are also welcome to place a flag at their gravesite. Flags may be purchased at local flag stores also.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs provides guidelines for display of the flag, and specifically state the American flag should never touch anything beneath it (i.e., ground, floor, water, merchandise, etc. ). If you happen to see a flag touching the ground, please pick it up and place the post properly into the ground to ensure it is secure and upright.
Holy Sepulchre works closely with local veteran organizations that will return to the cemetery to remove the flags within the two weeks after Independence Day. Depending on their physical condition and appearance, the flags will be put in storage and used again next year.
Please note, although flags are removed from gravesites after the permitted time period as noted in the cemetery's rules and regulations, Holy Sepulchre honors all our veterans by flying the flag year-round in Section S and Section 15.
