    United States Post Office

    The United States Post Office absolutely doesn't deliver mail on Memorial Day because it's a federal holiday so don't expect to see your mail carrier walking around. If you're expecting a package from FexEx or UPS, don't look for it Memorial Day either because neither company will be delivering.

    Banks

    Most all banks are closed on Memorial Day, but their ATMs are always open. Keep in mind that any transactions that you do on Friday will most likely take an extra business day to clear because of the Monday holiday.
