The Dearly Departed Players recently decorated the Dunmore Cemetery for the Memorial Day holiday.
This season the Players took the cemetery Receiving Vault under their wing by decorating it with patriotic banners, wind spinners, flags and flowers. Director of the Dearly Departed Players, Julie Esty, noted that the organization has been asked by visitors who frequent the cemetery to decorate for holidays other than their seasonal decor in October for the annual Dunmore Cemetery Tour.
The Players are trying to comply and have received a good response whenever they decorate the Receiving Vault. Esty also noted that the cemetery is a very community friendly place, drawing visitors of all ages daily. The decorations seem to make people happy.
The Players were also at the cemetery on Memorial Day distributing handmade poppy pins to the public. Each pin has the name and information about a soldier buried in the cemetery who was killed in the line of duty in the World Wars.
