We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Mandeville.
Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:
For the fifth year, the Robert E. Lee Chapter 737, United Daughters of the Confederacy, is conducting this ceremony at Mandeville Cemetery, on December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony). The public is invited to come and honor our Veterans as the entire nation joins together on that day and hour.
Please plan to arrive early to allow for parking and to be in place, as the ceremony will begin at exactly 12:00 noon with the ringing of a bell signaling the observance of one minute of respectful silence. Following a brief patriotic program, over 200 wreaths will be placed on veterans' gravesites by volunteers from the public, who will follow the organization’s tradition of speaking aloud the name of each veteran as the wreath is placed.
Mandeville Cemetery is located one block off U.S. 190/Florida Street, in the 1600 block of Montgomery Street, between Jackson Avenue and Foy Street. The cemetery is accessed by two side-by-side driveways, each extending from Montgomery Street to Villere Street (and accessible from either end).
- Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
- Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath.
- Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
