hello, i was wondering, is it required to have a casket to be buried there? we're trying to cut down on expenses. thanks in advance.

Thank you for your questions. Our goal is to ensure that every veteran or family member interred in our Veterans Cemetery is provided the utmost dignity and respect throughout the process. Interments that fall outside of a casket, urn or scattering must be handled on a case by case basis with the funeral director, Veterans Cemetery and next of kin. You can find more information about our State Veterans Cemetery online at: http://www.dva.wa.gov/cemetery

You can call there to get the answer but they have scattering grounds

Call the cemetery. They're great folks. And will give you an answer of the requirements.

I'm thinking that you have to be buried in something. But nothing high end. Body will contain fluids that cannot be leaving any contamination. My kids great uncle built a casket just from wood they bought at home depot. For the g grandpa when he passed away. It was much cheaper than buying one. My father passed away August 15th he was buried here. And he bought the cheapest one . It was 3000. For 200 I'm sure you can build a good secure one . Hope that helps.

I don't think so. Our loved one was cremated, there is a area for that. Very nice place

Beautiful place cremation no I don't know otherwise
