Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Programs
Cemeteries
The State of Maryland, through the Cemetery Program of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs, offers Maryland veterans, and their eligible dependents, a final resting place at one of five state veterans' cemeteries located throughout Maryland. The Program is the largest of its kind in the nation.
A Pre-interment Program is available through which veterans may indicate their desire to be buried in one of the state’s cemeteries and verify their eligibility for such burial on a pre-need basis. The following facilities provide interment services during the normal business week (Monday through Friday) and are open to the public 365 days of the year.
For visitors to our cemeteries the gates will be open every day of the year from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The gates will close at 4:45 p.m. to allow visitors to exit the cemetery. The cemetery will remain open until 8:00 p.m. on Memorial Day (the date of State observance).
