Friends of East Union Cemetery and members of the community have donated thousands of flameless tea lights to be placed on each headstone to honor the souls resting during Christmas.

Today, starting at 2:30 p.m., volunteers will begin placing a lit flameless tea light on every headstone at the cemetery at Union Road and Louise Avenue.

The gates will remain open until 8 p.m. each day,
