Directions to Cemetery

Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the cemetery.  Parking at the cemetery is extremely limited and will be reserved for ceremony participants, the elderly and the handicapped.  There will be off-site parking available for ceremony attendees with free shuttle service from the parking area to the cemetery.  As soon as this year's parking area has been finalized, that information will be posted.

Parking Instructions

Parking is extremely limited at the cemetery itself and needs to be limited to ceremony participants, the elderly, and those who are handicapped.  There is no street parking.  Attendees should park in the lot on Cole Grade Road at Fruitvale on the west side of Cole Grade Road behind the white rail fence.  There will be WAA parking signs on the fence.  Shuttle buses will transport attendees from the parking area to the cemetery (approximately five-minutes) and back again.

Ceremony and Volunteer Information

We are happy that you are willing to help with our Wreath Across America ceremony at Valley Center Cemetery. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.

Here are some things to remember about the ceremony:

  • 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.
  • We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check in with the location coordinator if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.

The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
