Graves of Honor is a nonprofit organization that raises money for the cleaning, maintenance and restoration of abandoned cemeteries with military veterans

Good morning everyone and Happy 4th of July.

Myself and several other West Long Branch residents have started this NJ Nonprofit Organization, Graves of Honor, to raise money for the cleaning, maintenance and restoration of abandoned cemeteries with military veterans throughout New Jersey. We are starting with the abandoned part of the Old First Cemetery on Locust and Wall Street, the Old Free Church cemetery on Monmouth Road, and the abandoned Greenlawn Cemetery on Broadway.

For many years, the amazing volunteers and organizations in the area have attempted to maintain the cemeteries as best as possible with virtually no financial support. We started this charity to create a funding vessel for a more permanent and sustainable solution to care for these cemeteries, and hopefully many more throughout the state.

We are pending our 501c3 status. Once we have that we will begin agressive fundraising including state and federal grant applications. In the meantime we are still a NJ Nonprofit and are accepting donations here on Go Fund Me to support the amazing work that our volunteers are doing and have done out of their own pocket for many years.

Thank you in advance for your help. If you can't donate at this time please pass along this information and visit us on our website and all of our social media pages.
