Veteran Cemeteries
The mission for the Veterans Cemeteries throughout the State is to ensure that the final resting place for our Fallen honors their memory in a serene, beautiful setting befitting the sacrifice of service. The standards we strive to meet as established and defined by the National Cemetery Administration provide guidance and direction to maintain our cemeteries as the shrines as they are intended to be.
