Memorial Day 2021

May 20, 2021 by Kelly Crossley

For nearly 50 years, Williamsburg Memorial Park has proudly sponsored an annual 2-hour live Memorial Day Celebration. Unfortunately, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to cancel this year’s event.

However, we will still be placing American flags on the graves of more than 1,200 U.S. veterans who are buried here, which includes 21 new interments since last year. We encourage you and your family to visit your loved one this Memorial Day weekend and see how we honor those who have honored us with their service. FREE American flags will be available this Memorial Day weekend at our Customer Care Center so you can decorate your loved one’s grave.

Rest assured, that we remain committed to this important community event and will restart our live Memorial Day Celebration in 2022. In the meantime, we invite you to view our 2020 Memorial Day video below, which includes a special message from our General Manager, Angela Byrum, a brief history of Memorial Day by Tim Dice, and an amazing performance of “God Bless the USA” by Ray Gresham, 1st Sergeant, U.S. Army (retired). The video also includes dozens of heartwarming photos from some of our previous celebrations and concludes with a matched donation offer for the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank. Enjoy.

Help Families in Need

Every time you share our Memorial Day video, we’ll donate $1 to our friends at the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, up to $600. That’s enough money for 2,400 meals! You can help too. Simply click the button below and we’ll connect you with Virginia Peninsula Foodbank’s secure donation portal.

A single dollar can provide up to four healthy meals to individuals, families, children, seniors, and veterans across the greater Peninsula area—providing comfort and hope to those who need it the most. Plus, your donation is tax-deductible. Together, we can make a difference. Please donate today.

Property Owners

Am I allowed to sell my property?

Yes. But as the property owner, you are responsible for advertising and setting the price. You may also give your space(s) to family members, donate them to a charitable organization, or give someone “permission to use” your space. Please contact one of our Family Service Counselors for more information.

How do I request maintenance?

Although we generally do a great job of maintaining our cemetery and the individual lots within it, we occasionally miss something because of the sheer size of the park. If you see something that needs to be addressed, simply fill out our Contact Form and select “Lot Maintenance,” or call our office at 757-565-2006. Be sure to include your lot number (if known) and contact information.
