As we discussed above, it’s a question that many companies – particularly retailers – ask themselves each year. Some choose to close in order to have the time on that day to honor and mourn military personnel who have died in battle, while others close so that they can also spend time with family and friends. Other shops prefer to remain open to make their goods and services available to their customers – even if it’s for just limited hours that day. We have free Memorial Day templates for both closed and open options.

Simply scroll through the above templates, and click on the image(s) that you choose to print – we’ll immediately email you a PDF file of the template you’ve selected. Once you’ve downloaded the template, just print it on your office or home printer.

Yes, you can request as many of the Memorial Day sign templates as you might need – for various store locations, various entrances, or even for various locations within the store (see below).

The best place to hang a closed or open for Memorial Day sign is typically on your store or company’s front window or main entrance – be sure to place it in a spot that’s easily seen and, ideally, at about eye level. To give shoppers advance notice of your Memorial Day intentions, you can also place additional signs in your store’s interior prior to the holiday – at the checkout, on interior shop walls, in store windows, etc.

Sorry, no custom options are available with our free Memorial Day signs. However, you’ll find quite a variety of designs to choose from – our design team has created more than two dozen templates that we think will work well for just about any business.

That depends upon which free template you choose – as you can see, some of templates do not list the specific date, so those could indeed be used again. Keep in mind that Memorial Day is always the final Monday in May, so the actual date will move each year – in 2022, for instance, Memorial Day will fall on May 30th. Memorial Day will not be held again on May 31st until the year 2027.

Although ‘Decoration Day’ was indeed the term once used for the day honoring fallen soldiers (and decorating their graves with flowers), Congress officially established the holiday as Memorial Day in the early 1970s, and most people now refer to it by its current name. We are not offering any of our free templates with the outdated Decoration Day name.
