A beautiful final resting place for a loved one. For my situation being out of state and during the height of COVID-19, they worked with me and were very kind, considerate, and respectful.

Questions & Answers

Are the bodies buried there or is it just the headstones?

Human remains are interred there along with their headstones.

Will space be available for burials for the foreseeable future

Yes. 100 years. They said. If you served in the military or are a spouse you can be buried there. Free of charge to all veterans . No matter when you served

if both husband and wife are veterans of Vietnam can they have plots side by side? And do funeral homes take care of the arranging for burials at a national cemetery?

stan Hinzmann | Sep 17, 2018
Joanne Slader | Sep 17, 2018

In general, if both are veterans, they could both be eligible for their own plots - side by side. There are service date considerations that must be met, honorable discharge required, etc. Most funeral homes work with the St Louis scheduling office for burials at all National Cemeteries.

When are the flags placed for veterans day

We had a nice and very yummy brunch at Summer Kitchen after our ceremony...in LaVista not far at all.

what paperwork is required

Ron Haggard | Apr 19, 2022
John Halliday | Apr 19, 2022

DD-214 Discharge paperwork is all you need. Give a copy to your funeral director and upon time, your 214 is faxed to St Louis for determination of elegability. Omaha National Cemetery will get a case number and begin process.

Are there rooms available in the administration where family members can gather after a burial to visit and possibly enjoy coffee and cookies (brought by family)? Thank you.

You can look it up on their website.

Do spouses get their own markers or is their name on the spouse stone that was in the service?

Gloria Sass | Sep 17, 2019
Joanne Slader | Sep 17, 2019

If the spouse was not a veteran, the spouse name goes on the same stone as the veteran.

Joanne Slader | Sep 17, 2019

The admin building closed at 4:30. The gates close at sunset.

I saw a notice in a local paper that a young 15 year old boy was to be buried at the Omaha National Cemetery. Can you explain why this would be allowed?

Jacki Case | Sep 17, 2019
Jim Elbling | Sep 17, 2019

I think that was a mistake, I attended the funeral of the Vietnam veteran that was at the Omaha national cemetery.

A colleague and good friend, Steve Boltz, is scheduled to have services there this coming Wednesday, 08/01. Can you please tell me at which site this will be held? Thank you for your help.

Marc O | Sep 17, 2018
Joanne Slader | Sep 17, 2018

Start at the administration building. Look for the right turn - "services line up here." If the service is at 9, 11 or 1 - line up in lane 1. If the service is at 10 or 2, line up in lane 2. You can wait in the admin building for the escort car - coffee, water and rest rooms.

Will there be a 4th of July ceremony 2018?
