Here at Neubauer’s Flowers, we’ve been inspired by national program Wreaths Across America, celebrated each December with a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Many locations across the country join them in this tribute, and we think it is an easy one to plan all on your own. We can really feel the loss of a loved one at the holidays, but creating a meaningful personal ritual to honor that person goes a long way to easing that sadness.

Our Moderate Mixed Pine Wreath is in the style of the ones laid at Arlington. With just a touch of pine cone and a red bow, this evergreen wreath is an abiding gesture that looks lovely at a grave site or at some other place of honor in your home. It’s a seasonal piece of decor that works beautifully as a memorial tribute.

Take some time this season to gather together and remember the ones you’ve lost. Tell stories, put out framed photographs, light candles, and express your gratitude for the people who can’t be with you this holiday. Family and friends will appreciate the chance to remember loved ones together.
