Welcome to the Bristol Center & Vincent Hill Cemeteries's Wreaths Across America Page. There are at least 42 known veteran graves at two of Bristol's oldest cemeteries: 22 at the Bristol Center Cemetery (on SR 64) and another 20 at the Vincent Hill Cemetery (Vincent Hill Rd). Our goal this year is to place a holiday wreath at each of these gravesites.
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Bristol Center & Vincent Hill Cemeteries to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud.
Following the ceremony at Bristol Center, volunteers will be asked to help place wreaths at the Vincent Hill Cemetery, as well as at the Coye and Wilder Cemeteries in South Bristol. You can learn more about those locations by visiting their location page (NYCOYE).
