Effective Memorial Day 2026 according to recent Amendment Act. No. 89 of 2021.
Small American flags are permitted on an individual’s grave ONE WEEK BEFORE Memorial
Day and will be removed by the organization that placed the flags or the cemetery
maintenance staff, as part of the cemetery’s normal course of maintenance, after
Independence Day (4th of July) but BEFORE Veterans Day. Flags will be available in the
Park office for family members if they wish to place one on their loved one’s grave in
honor of Veterans Day.
If the cemetery is participating in Wreaths Across America, the cemetery location will
leave their flags until after Veterans Day so that the volunteers can place the stake flags
for the wreaths.
If, at any time, the flag becomes worn or tattered, it will be removed and disposed of
properly.
