They provided my father with the service he deserved. The jets flying over head, the staff, everything was perfect. It doesn't make losing him any less harder but he was given the thank you he worked so hard for. Thank you

Well kept, very professional staff. They are strict with the rules, but what else would you expect from a place associated with the military. They are helpful and will go over all the rules for you though so you shouldn't have any problems.

Nice place over all well kept. Needs attention to entrance sign needs cleaning more regularly and could use more available flower cup holders, especially on Veterans Day and on other days equally important. Always noticed people come out without being able to display there flowers.

This became my husband's F.R.P. (Final Resting Place) January 2019. The Staff and grounds are excellent. I am very grateful that Senator Don Davis fought hard to keep this location open. Very close to our home. On my way now to celebrate the 1st anniversary day of my husband's Born Day without him.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Currently, there are no events planned for Veterans Day. Local veteran groups must sponsor an event and the cemetery assists with facilities and parking.

You can be buried with your husband, yes there is a fee. It was 800$. I don't know if it is still the same.
