A New Way to Remember

At Lancaster Cemetery, we understand that some days hold a special place in our hearts.

Whether you're celebrating a loved one's birthday, remembering the anniversary of their passing, or honoring another meaningful occasion, we invite you to stop by the cemetery office and request one of our complimentary "Remembering Your Special Day" flags.

Simply place the flag at your loved one's memorial during your visit.

When our grounds crew sees the white remembrance flag, they will know to leave decorations in place for one additional week, allowing your family a little more time to celebrate and remember together.

This small gesture is our way of honoring the moments that continue to matter long after a loved one is gone.

The flags are available at no cost during regular office hours. We are honored to be part of remembering those special days with you.

Dear Visitors,

If you're planning to visit the cemetery in the coming days, please be aware that road construction is currently taking place along East Lancaster Blvd and continuing beyond the cemetery going east.

The cemetery remains open, but traffic patterns may change from day to day, and you may experience brief delays entering or leaving the cemetery grounds. We recommend allowing a few extra minutes for your visit.

We appreciate your patience as these city roadway improvements are completed. As always, we look forward to welcoming you and helping make your visit as peaceful as possible.

What an incredible day at the BOGA Veteran Stand Down!

We were honored to meet so many Veterans, hear their stories, and connect with the organizations and service providers who work every day to support our Antelope Valley Veteran community.

Events like these remind us how important it is to come together, share resources, and ensure our Veterans know they are valued, remembered, and supported.

A heartfelt thank you to BOGA for organizing such a meaningful and well-executed event. Bringing Veterans and community partners together under one roof takes tremendous effort, and we are grateful to have been part of it.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared a conversation, picked up information about our Veteran programs, or simply said hello. We look forward to seeing many of you again at our upcoming Veterans Day, and Wreaths Across America events.
