Ceremony Details:
· The ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 AM with our nationwide moment of silence. The ceremony location is the same as past years, in front of the Soldier Statue in the middle of the cemetery.
· The ceremony is standing room only, chairs are not provided.
· Dogs are not allowed at the ceremony, or anywhere else at Mountain View Cemetery (except service dogs).
· Parking - Parking is allowed on interior roads within the Cemetery. Please pull off to the side enough for cars to still be able to pass you, while still being mindful of the headstones on the ground. The roads immediately surrounding the statue will be blocked off for the ceremony. There is also parking along 11th Avenue and surrounding streets.
· The ceremony will go on rain, snow, wind, or shine. Dress for the weather. The ceremony is outside and takes approximately 20 minutes, followed by the wreath laying.
· There is only ONE set of restrooms at the cemetery - on the side of the cemetery office off 11th Avenue. I will have these unlocked from 9:30AM-12:00PM on Saturday.
· Photos/video are allowed and welcomed, please share with me after so I can use them on our social media pages!
· Wreaths will be laid AFTER the ceremony. Please leave the wreaths in the pile until after the ceremony, when instructed to lay them.
