The large American flags presented to the family of a veteran at the veteran's funeral are accepted by Worcester County Memorial Park, to be flown in the veteran's honor in the Garden of Honor. Since we can not return the flags due to wear and tear from the elements, we will present the veteran's family a beautiful family heirloom Bible as a replacement. Each Memorial Day weekend, the Park offers free flags to visitors so that they may decorate the graves of anyone, veteran and non-veteran alike.

Fresh flowers are welcome, though we do not allow artificial flowers.  In June to September, however, the Park designates a special area where visitors can pick fresh flowers (check with the office for directions).

Potted plants, baskets, flag holders and flags are allowed one week prior to and ten days after the observance of Memorial Day. As a courtesy to our lot owners, flags are available at the office for placement during this period.

On November 1st, you may leave winter decorations that can stay throughout the season. An announcement will be made in the Worcester newspapers and this web site (usually sometime in March) to pick up your display so we may begin our annual spring clean-up.

On occasion, we may post information notices on the grounds. If you have any questions or concerns about these notices or the guidelines listed above, please feel free to contact:
