Gary Farral supplied this information for military families.
On Thursday, April 2, 2015, the American Battlefield Monuments Commission (ABMC) will close its Floral Fund Program and will no longer process new floral orders. In announcing the closure, the ABMC cited that, “There was a time when this program provided an important service to the next of kin, given the difficulty following the World Wars of ordering floral arrangements, for placement at our overseas cemeteries. In today’s international commerce environment, however, that is no longer the situation.”
After April 2, friends and family members still will be able to have flowers placed within ABMC cemeteries, but they must place those orders directly with a florist. A list of florists who provide international delivery is below.
Because many families will want to have flowers placed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, the ABMC will take Floral Fund orders until Monday, April 1. For all orders placed prior to April 2, the last day for placement of arrangements will be Monday, June 1.
