Ceremonies at individual cemeteries
No individual ceremonies are listed yet.
An observance is listed here only after its date, local time, place and organizer have been confirmed against an official source. None has completed that check so far, and last year’s schedules are never repeated as current.
Many national cemeteries hold public ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. To find one, contact the cemetery directly — each cemetery page lists its phone number — or see the official VA cemetery pages.
What a listing will include
- The year, date, local start time and time zone.
- The cemetery and the place within it.
- The organizer.
- A link to the official announcement, and the date we last checked it.
Past events are removed or archived promptly.
