WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

For information on how to order wreaths on-line and pay with a credit card or electronic check, please go to our Wreaths Across America page!

For the past 5 years, we have been registered sponsors for Wreaths Across America. We hope to one day raise enough money to sponsor a wreath for every single veteran buried at Florence National Cemetery this December. For every 2 wreaths sponsored through Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina, Wreaths Across America provides a 3rd one for free. Check out our Wreaths Across America page for more information about the program. You can retrieve an order form from that link.
