Program Cancellation

Continued Pandemic restrictions prevent Dayton Memorial Park Cemetery and Mausoleum from having our annual Memorial Christmas Tree Lighting Program again this year, but it didn't stop us from putting up our traditional decorations, including the Memorial Christmas Tree in the Abbey Mausoleum. As always, we invite anyone who would like to honor a lost loved one to place an ornament on the tree; feel free to personalize it if you wish. The Abbey is open every day of the week from 9 AM until 4 PM. The tree will be in place starting December 4, 2021, and will remain in place until January 4, 2022. All apparently personalized ornaments will be moved to the office for pickup and held until February 15, 2022. After that date any unclaimed ornaments will be given to Goodwill. The Board of Trustees and staff wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season and hope to see you next year!

Wreaths Across America

The Miami Valley Young Marines will still be placing wreaths in Dayton Memorial Park Cemetery on December 18, 2021. For more information on this great program use this link: https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/142620/Overview/?relatedId=142619.  Sadly, there will be no ceremony preceding the placing the wreaths. We look forward to working with the Miami Valley Young Marines in 2021, hopefully holding a full ceremony and placing wreaths honoring our many veterans.
