Welcome to the Wreaths Across America - North Huntingdon Area Cemeteries Page

On December 14, 2024 (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at Union, Immaculate Conception, Old Brush Creek and Long Run 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. 

** Please note for 2023 if you wish to recognize veterans at Penn Lincoln, you will need to pre-purchase the wreath, pick it up at the ceremony and individually place the wreath. We are unable to officially place at Penn Lincoln this year. Please notify us directly at waanorthhuntingdon@gmail.com so we can reserve your wreath. 

Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by clicking the red "Sponsor" button. 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.
