Suffolk, VA
Since 2008, The Horton Wreath Society has provided live wreaths for every grave site at the Albert G. Horton, Jr., Memorial Veterans Cemetery in Suffolk Virginia.
These Wreaths are made possible by generous donations from individuals and organizations. We receive donations from all over the United States.
Last year, December 2012, 4,250 Live Wreaths were placed at the cemetery by over 3,000 volunteers, with more being added every year.
Our goal each year is to provide a live wreath for each gravesite/columbarium row at our annual wreath laying event in December.
