Welcome to the Raleigh National Cemetery's Wreaths Across America Page.
On December 16, 2023 at 12:00 pm, Wreaths Across America will be at Raleigh National 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.

Or, if you would like to volunteer to participate in the wreath laying ceremony, please click the “Volunteer” button next to the cemetery name below, and don't forget to click the "Invite" button to invite your friends and family to join you.

Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the cemetery. Use Raleigh National Cemetery, Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, NC 27610.

Parking Instructions
There is plenty of parking near the cemetery and the elementary school across the street, so feel free to park in any available spot.
