Begin your Memorial Day observance at Mount Hope Cemetery with a solemn and meaningful ceremony honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. The program includes a Catholic Mass, followed by a combined color guard presentation, a traditional rifle salute, and the playing of Taps—each element paying tribute to the sacrifice and legacy of our nation’s fallen heroes.
This ceremony marks the opening of Elgin’s Memorial Day observances and offers a reflective setting for remembrance and gratitude.
