We are offering US flags or Ohio flags to create our "Field of Flags". A nice way to honor someone entombed in the Abbey or a deceased loved one buried far away. Flags will be tagged with your loved one's name. You can bring the flag with you when you depart, or we would be happy to send you a picture of the flag if you cannot attend. Flags are only $20.
