About this Event

Things to Keep In Mind BEFORE You Register

Each registered volunteer is responsible for 60-90 flags, which will weigh up to 15 pounds. Please make sure you are physically able to lift upwards of 15lbs for an extended period!
Flag Placement will happen rain or shine, dress for the weather!
We highly recommend bringing a screwdriver to help create an initial pilot hole at each headstone, this helps especially when the ground is dry.
We encourage you to wear gloves. Many volunteers in the past have gotten blisters from placing so many flags!

Cemetery Rules

No running in the cemetery.
No leaning on, sitting on, or resting body or limbs on headstones or monuments.
Do not pick up any flowers or flags (unless the flag has fallen to the ground).
Do not touch any of the coins that were placed on top of the headstones or around the headstone.
No advertising of any kind while on the cemetery grounds.
Do not disrupt visitors at graves. You may ask to place the flag for them. However, if they deny the request, kindly give them a flag so that they can place it themselves.
No littering, please ensure that you are picking up after yourselves.
