National Cemetery Administration - Providing Dignity and Honor to Our Nation's Heroes

Welcome to the National Cemetery Administration, where we are dedicated to honoring and remembering the brave men and women who have served our country. With nearly 10 million Veterans interred in private cemeteries, we have created the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM), a digital platform designed solely to commemorate their memory. This groundbreaking initiative allows you to explore and pay tribute to these extraordinary individuals.

Finding the final resting place of your beloved Veteran has never been easier with our interactive cemetery map. Whether you are looking to visit your loved one or simply want to locate a cemetery near you, our comprehensive search tool provides all the information you need. We manage 155 VA cemeteries and support an additional 122 VA grant-funded cemeteries, ensuring that Veterans across the nation receive the honorable burial they deserve.

At the National Cemetery Administration, we understand the importance of preserving the memory of these heroic individuals. That's why we offer the Memorial Benefit: Medallion, an alternative to a traditional Government headstone or grave marker for Veterans buried in private cemeteries. This special medallion is provided to those who served on or after April 6, 1917, and have a privately purchased headstone or marker. Learn more and apply today.

For current burial scheduling information, our online Daily Burial Schedule keeps you informed. By visiting our website, you can access the latest updates on burial arrangements and ensure that you stay connected with our services.

As we look towards the future, we are excited to announce the upcoming National VA History Center. This remarkable museum and archival center will house historical collections and records related to the Department of Veterans Affairs and its legacy agencies. Take a virtual tour of the campus and witness firsthand how VA's rich history continues to shape our present and future.

We are proud to share the latest news from the National Cemetery Administration, including the distribution of over $51 million in grants to state Veterans cemeteries. Additionally, we recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of our administration, honoring half a century of dedicated service to our nation's heroes.

Golden Gate National Cemetery holds a special significance, with the final resting places of notable Navy leaders Chester W. Nimitz, Raymond A. Spruance, Richmond K. Turner, and Charles A. Lockwood. These gravesites represent the enduring bond among service members, even after death, and serve as a moving tribute to their sacrifice.
