Welcome to the Sunset Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page. 

On December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), at 11:00 AM, Wreaths Across America will be at Sunset Cemetery 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.

This year, we will be hosting a joint ceremony honoring Veterans buried at Heritage Gardens (Niceville) and Sunset Cemetery (Valparaiso). The joint ceremony will be located at Heritage Gardens Funeral Home and Cemetery. Upon completion of the ceremony, attendees will be given the opportunity to lay wreaths on Veteran graves at both Heritage Gardens and Sunset Cemetery.
