Such a beautiful peaceful place. My Grandfather was a PROUD navy man. I swear the first time I saw it it took my breath away it looks like it does on a TV movie. And I was so surprised to see my Grandmother's name on the other side they will always be together like they should

I called today (11-2) to check, and the row of flags will be up, but the next major thing they're doing with each grave is is wreaths across (for) America on Dec 15th, 2018. Hope that helps, belatedly.

My dad (veteran) will be buried soon. I need info about the urn dimensions. I need to buy ASAP. I have called several times and left messages with no luck! Also, I know my mom can be buried there eventually. Does she need to be cremated as well?

Karen Avila | Sep 27, 2021
Vincent Accardi | Sep 27, 2021

We just recently buried my dad. The urn was the size of a standard vase for a bouquet. It was about 6 in dia x 10 in tall. My mom was not in the military, and can be buried in the same plot and they place her name at the back of the stone. If she were buried in a casket, they would move the grave to a location with larger ones.
