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.
Only the government standard flat granite markers for ground burial and bronze niche markers for columbarium internment are allowed in the Hawaiʻi State Veteran Cemetery. Examples of both are shown below:
Flat granite marker for ground burial. The flat granite grave marker is 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 4 inches thick. Weight is approximately 130 pounds.
Marker used for columbarium internment. This niche marker is 8-1/2 inches long, 5-1/2 inches wide, with 7/16 inch rise. Weight is approximately 3 pounds; mounting bolts and washers are furnished with the marker.
