Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

How can I find the grave of a relative? I have found the answer. Around the building at the main entrance, there are kiosks where you should be able to type in the name of your relative or friend and it will tell you the area and section number where they are buried. Hope this helps.

Honorably discharged Veterans and their spouses and some dependents are eligible for burial.

No, closes at sunset

They have a grave locator that allows you to print out the details and map. It was really easy to find my uncle this spring.

The best thing too do is google Jefferson Barracks Cemetery & ask them!

You have to fill out a form & be a honourable discharged Veteran.

Yes you will be able to do so with their plot directory at the main building.

There is no difference, both headstones are approved for use in National Cemeteries. In the 1980s the switch to flat granite markers was made. The idea was to save labor and cost. The flat markers were thought to be easier to trim around with string trimmers and the sections are able to be mowed without damaging the head stones as frequently. The displeasure of the public made it evident that the change was not wanted and the cemetery began using upright headstones after only a few short years. The flat granite markers are 100% accepted as US veteran headstones and are just as honorable and show as much respect as the upright headstones. There are several National Cemeteries operated by the National Cemetery Administration that use strictly flat granite markers and are lauded as some of the most serene cemeteries in our nation.

There is an kiosk located behind the administration building at the main gate where you can find the section and gravestone number. You'll also be able to print out a map to help guide you to the gravesite you are looking for.

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery is for Veterans and Active Duty. You can't pre register, you have to provide the papers required for your loved one to the funeral home, and they will take care of everything.

Hi Mary. I'm unsure and would suggest that you call the cemetery to find out

I'm assuming by cellarium you are referring to the Columbarium. The Columbarium is for cremations only. Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery does not offer any type of above ground options for casketed remains. You should have the option for above, or below ground options for cremated remains.

You can call the main office at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery M-F 8AM-4PM Phone: (314) 845-8320

Air Force veteran Robert K. Wunderlich is an unclaimed veteran with no known next of kin. He will be buried tomorrow at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Military honors will be provided.

No, JBNC currently offers burial options for traditional casketed interments as well as in ground cremation inurnments, and above ground columbarium inurnments.

Typically, no. The only exception is when a holiday falls on a Monday or Friday.

This changes on a daily basis. The current count is over 190,000 internment sites. With an average of 17 burials per day, approximately 4,000 burials are completed per year.

You might want to find the military cemetery in Tampa and call to see if they can get the information you need I'm sure both places can help with that information.

Use the website or go there & use the kiosk if your close.

You'll want to go to the main building located near the main entrance. There's reps there that should be able to further assist.

That depends on marriage status and previous marriages. The VA's website has a lot of information on eligibility, to include burial eligibility.

When u go into the entrance there is a building on the right, turn right at the street and go around other side of the building and there are computers up the ramp. Can look up by name and other ways it takes u step by step and a map to help too.

The "wall", also known as a Columbarium, is an honorable way to maximize space. Since JBNC is land locked, they are doing everything they can to extend the use of land to further burials in that location. In ground cremation burial is still offered.

Bench donations are no longer being accepted due to the complex underground irrigation system.

That I am aware of, there was no size limitation. We just had our Dad's Military Honors service under one of their pavilions. We had enough people that we all couldn't fit under the Pavillion. Masks were required.

They have a registry inside the building at the gate that will tell you where they are located.

I would say no because you are not his spouse any longer. And that is the only way

At the information center near the entrance there are monitors that you can use to search by name. You can even print a map.

That question is nearly impossible to answer as burial rates vary from year to year. The current planned expansions should extend burial space to allow for internments until approximately 2036.

I'm not really sure of that either. I'd call them in Monday and ask. I hope you get the help ur asking for tho.

They have locator at main entrance. Honestly looks like an ATM machine. Just know correct spelling and your set.Its on backside of building. Outside.

That is a specialized paint known as Lithochrome. The "paint" fades in as little as 5 years causing a lack of uniformity amongst burial sections. The amount of time and labor involved is a huge investment, and an even bigger burden to taxpayers. The lack of "paint" truly boils down to a matter of Maintenance, uniformity, and saving taxpayer dollars.

No I dont think so.

Usually the day after Memorial Day.

The Army (which managed national cemeteries until 1973) allowed families to purchase private headstones until the 1920s, and you can see those markers in the oldest sections of JBNC. After the 1920s, only standard government grave markers were permitted. The VA is responsible for the upkeep of all the grave markers in the cemetery, whether they are standard government markers or the old private markers.

The wreaths are purchased through private buyers. Some buy a wreath specifically for their loved one's grave, other people make a general donation. This year 10,000 wreaths were purchased by donors for placement at JBNC, which is the largest number ever purchased there. Since there are approximately 150,000 occupied gravesites there, cemetery leaders, in consultation wirh Wreaths Across America staff, will make a decision on where to concentrate the wreaths that are general donations. This year happened to be the sections near the Administration building, along with some flat grave sections. In past years they've concentrated in the historic sections near the old flagpile, or sections near the chapel. They will usually place a wreath on Medal of Honor graves, as well as some of the larger group burial graves. Hope that helps.

You can search the self serve electronic grave locator kiosk located behind the administration building which is located just inside the main gate.

You can contact Jefferson Barracks Administration office and they will give you the exact location and information

Your cremated remains can be buried in the same gravesite as your wife's casketed remains.

I don't know, ask the Annette Colman at the information desk.

Donna Harris.... You can contact JB Cemetery and get information regarding your father . if you come to the office they will take you to the grave site if you're not familiar with the area.

Contact the VA they are the ones that handle the arrangements. They would share a plot, one at 8ft and one at 6ft. My grandparents have the same arrangements.
