My Dad lives in Maine but lived in Massachusetts for many years. Can he be buried at the National cemetery in Bourne? HE is a Navy Veteran. He was on the USS Mission Bay it was an aircraft carrier.

Yes, absolutely. He deserves the respect and dignity that the National cemetery will provide. Thanks to him for his service. If you need help, the VA liaison was very helpful to us.

I can only speak for myself. My brother also served in the Navy and unfortunately did not leave his affairs in very good order. He was cremated in San Diego which was his chosen home. I found dealing with the death industry to be frustrating. So our family chose a simple but respectale ceremony. At the Bourne National cemetery. If you are still able I would ask your dad his wishes. In my own case I have chosen cremation by the Neptune society my ashes to be simpley thrown to the wind but this is a decision for those who come after me and hope that there life's will be a bit easier. The cemetary at Borne conducts these services every fifteen minutes when you poceed you know you are not alone in your grief. These national cemetaries are in every county and State and date back time in memorial. My experience honor your Dad's passing in a way that your family can honor his contribution to your family and friends. And know you are not alone Pete Gallagher The answer Yes he can
