All Non-Memorial Day Events at ABMC Sites Canceled Until Further Notice

Published March 20, 2020

To support the health and well-being of our staff and visitors, all non-Memorial Day events at ABMC sites will be canceled until further notice. This decision is based on official guidance from health and government authorities in the countries where we operate. We understand the impact this has on both our staff and cemetery partners, who work hard throughout the year to organize meaningful commemorations. We apologize for any inconvenience and where possible, we will look for ways to commemorate virtually through social media campaigns, etc. Please continue to monitor our website and social media channels for further updates.
