Memorial Weekend at Puritan Lawn Memorial Park

Puritan Lawn Memorial Park, located at 185 Lake Street in West Peabody will honor all Veterans past and present this weekend. On Sunday, May 24th at 11:00 a.m., a Memorial Day Service will be held at the Veterans Circle in Puritan Lawn. Our Veterans will also be honored throughout the weekend with the annual Boulevard of Flags display that includes 50 U.S. casket flags donated by family members to be proudly flown along Pierce Boulevard.

Smaller U.S. flags and flower arrangements for placement on individual graves are currently available and will continue to be offered throughout Memorial Day weekend. All proceeds from the sale of flags over the weekend will support NEADS Assistant Dogs for Veterans. We will also be having a raffle with proceeds also going to NEADS.

Extended visiting hours will be observed throughout the weekend. Gates will be open to vehicular traffic from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and our office staff will be available from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. An information booth will be placed at the Veterans Circle with Puritan Lawn staff members on hand to assist visitors in locating individual grave sites.

Established in 1933, Puritan Lawn Memorial Park is recognized as a leader in educating families on the importance of preplanning their burial needs. Puritan Lawn is the oldest memorial park in the East and sits on 140 scenic acres bordering three lakes and conservation land in West Peabody, Mass.
