Memorial Day OOO templates.

Three Memorial Day templates: long weekend, single Monday, and routing-aware. The simplest holiday OOO of the year.

Quick answer

Memorial Day OOOs are short and direct — most businesses close Monday only or take a 4-day weekend. The OOO should specify return date and offer a backup contact. Three templates below.

→ The mechanical fix

Even short closures benefit from routing.

4-day weekend deserves to actually be off.

Long weekend (Friday-Monday)

With routing URL
