Curlew Hills Cancels Memorial Day - But Still Honors Veterans

After much consideration, Curlew Hills Memory Gardens has decided to cancel their annual Memorial Day ceremony on May 25 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Curlew Hills has been holding a Memorial Day service for more than 30 years, so needless to say, this was a difficult decision. But the safety and well being of all event attendees and participants is the company's highest priority.

Even though Curlew Hills will not hold a ceremony this year, they will still honor our veterans who paid the ultimate price in the service of our country. To honor them, Curlew Hills will lower its property flags to half-staff and will place a memorial wreath in its Circle of Valor. Curlew staff will also place flags on all veterans’ graves throughout the cemetery.

To further honor veterans and include everyone who cannot attend ceremonies this year due to the current pandemic, Curlew Hills created a video with special footage from many of its past Memorial Day events. They have placed this video on their website and social media platforms so people can still honor our veterans in the safety of their homes in lieu of attending a traditional in-person ceremony.

"I hope everyone enjoys watching this montage video. During these trying times, we encourage everyone honor our veterans and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. And on behalf of myself and everyone here at Curlew Hills Memory Gardens, we hope that you stay home, stay safe and remember our veteran heroes this Memorial Day and we hope to see you at our Veterans Day ceremony in November," comments Keenan Knopke, President and CEO of Curlew Hills Memory Gardens.
