For 400 years, Virginia’s sons and daughters have fought for America’s freedom. They were on the battlefields in Europe, the South Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other locations around the world. Today, Virginians enjoy a way of life thanks to each Virginian who took up arms and defended our nation and our liberty.
Virginia’s veterans cemeteries provide a final resting place for our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines a place of honor, dignity, respect, and remembrance. The Virginia Veterans Cemetery is located in Amelia, the Albert G. Horton, Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery is located in Suffolk, and the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Dublin. All cemeteries accommodate in-ground burial of casketed remains, in-ground inurnment of cremated remains, and above-ground inurnment of cremated remains in a columbarium.
Virginia Veterans Cemetery in-ground burials are marked with upright marble headstones; pre-installed crypt gardens have upright granite headstones; and, flat granite markers are used in one older garden section. Ground inurnments are marked with flat granite markers, and columbarium inurnments are marked with inscribed marble niche covers.
