Due to the Corona Emergency and the Governor’s plan to keep everyone safe during Memorial Day Weekend, the gates to the cemetery will be open for visiting but the office will be closed. Staff can be reached by phone from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday 509-575-6026. The cemetery database and a map of the cemetery are also available.

The Washington Department of Veterans Affairs and VFW are unable to hold traditional Memorial Day observances this year, including traditional public ceremonies, due to gathering restrictions for the current stay-home order.

Other public events, like volunteers placing flags on grave sites, will not take place to comply with physical distancing restrictions. Families may continue the tradition of placing flowers and small American flags at their loved one’s grave site. Cemetery visitors are asked to adhere to CDC guidelines and maintain physical distancing while visiting.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to protect the health and safety of our community and staff.
