Impeccably kept and such a dignified setting for our veterans. I'm so glad I chose this resting place for my husband who was very military loyal throughout his life. Indiantown Gap cemetery staff were wonderful and gracious at a time of grief.

Will I have to pay to bury my mother next to my father

marcy curbelo | Dec 5, 2019
Karen Johnson | Dec 6, 2019

We just burried my father 2 months ago. I asked this same question & was told No. They said that the funeral hold provided them with my mom's info and it's registered in their system already. They said they burry the 1st person far enough down to fit a 2nd casket. So when the time comes you just call and they prepare for the burial. No charges. Hope this info is correct and helps.
