Carrot Top

Memorial Day is coming up this month. During this holiday many festivities across the country will occur. What started as a day to honor those who died during service in the military forces has evolved to a day in which we honor anyone close to us who has passed away.

It is on this day that many families will visit cemeteries to pay their respects to a loved one. When visiting a loved one’s grave, it is the grave marker that serves as a focal point and a lasting tribute when we communicate our thoughts and feelings to that person. If the grave space has not yet been marked with a grave marker, now is the time to make plans to order one.

Another focal point on Memorial Day, is the Cemetery Marking Flag that is placed by the headstone.
