Memorial Day at Preble Memory Gardens: Honoring Our Heroes


At Preble Memory Gardens Funeral Center, Memorial Day is not just a date on the calendar — it’s a significant tradition. It’s a time when our community comes together to remember and honor the courageous individuals who gave their lives in military service.


Walking through our cemetery grounds on Memorial Day weekend, you’ll see flags gently waving beside veterans’ graves, placed with care by volunteers who believe, as we do, that remembering matters. These symbols of service are powerful reminders of the lives lived and lost in defense of freedom.


We take great pride in offering a final resting place that reflects peace, dignity, and honor. Our grounds are home to many who served, and we consider it a privilege to help families create meaningful tributes that endure through generations.


This Memorial Day, we invite you to visit, reflect, and remember. Whether you're attending a local ceremony, visiting a loved one’s grave, or simply pausing to reflect, know that your remembrance helps keep the legacy of our nation’s heroes alive.

Let us always honor the past, serve the present, and prepare for the future as a community of remembrance.
