Information
Info for the Wreaths Across America - Houston Day
THE WREATH LAYING ON:
Saturday,
December 18th.
Parking
• The best place to park is at Greenspoint Mall and take the free shuttle.
• Cemetery grounds parking will usually fill by 9:00am so Greenspoint is likely the best option.
• Buses are not permitted in the cemetery. Please pull to the front gate to let your passengers off and then park at Greenspoint for the driver to take the shuttle. Most shuttle buses are wheelchair equipped.
• Parking on Veterans Memorial is not recommended as it is a very busy road.
NOTE: After the ceremony all the busses will be there to help take people back. Please be patient as we get 17,000 people delivered back to Greenspoint. There will be a line but it goes quickly.
