Prospect Hill Cemetery thanks you for helping us remember and honor these men and women who served our country.
Prospect Hill Cemetery has 349 identified veterans resting here. Of these, 296 veterans have confirmed grave markers, and that was our 2025 sponsorship goal.
We are thrilled to report 318 sponsored wreaths for 2025! Every veteran whose grave has a marker will receive a wreath this year - the first time in four years we have achieved full coverage. Additional wreaths will be set on unmarked veterans graves
Each wreath honors a life, a story, and a piece of Omaha’s history.
