Such a beautiful place of respect and grace. Our Father’s service and military honors were wonderful and so touching. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It's a Cemetary, not a store. It's a National Cemetary for Military people, it's where my Dad is buried.

Visited the Quantico National Cemetery this morning. So many times while taking Joplin Rd into Quantico Station, or to Prince William Forest National Park, I pass this National Cemetery. Today, I did something new and finally visited. It was established in 1983, consisting of 725 acres, with over 40,000 interments to date.

My Dad was a veteran and has been cremated. Can he be interned at Quantico National Cemetery? If so, where can I get more information as to the process?

My husband was cremated and is buried there.

This site says the cemetery is closed today and tomorrow. Do they really mean that the offices are closed or are the grounds closed for the wreath laying ceremony?

Is there public transportation to the cemetery? Is there a place for a large group to gather prior to the Wreath's Across America wreath laying? Is there a formal service prior to wreath laying for Wreath's Across America? Can anyone participate?

Don't know on transportation...its got plenty of space for large groups ...only military can be buried and wife's ...they do have civilian plots next to it and private cemetery plots all over around the area ...beautiful there no matter who you are ...wreaths across America is probably welcome there ask the corriator....at regular business hours ...or the funeral director of Mullins and Thompkins of Stafford or even Fredricksburg they can answer your questions...♥

Can you reserve burial sites in advance at Quantico National Cemetery? My twin brother and I are both Viet Nam Vets and would like to be buried side by side.

Larry Gordon | Oct 12, 2021
Kevin W | Oct 12, 2021

I have seen brothers interred in the same plot, so know that is possible. I've seen adjacent plots reserved for interring husband and wife when both have served. I suspect they will do the same for brothers, so long as you coordinate it up front. You can't reserve plots until someone is interred there.
