National Cemetery System

The National Cemetery System is a network of government-managed cemeteries in the United States dedicated to honoring military veterans and their eligible family members. Established to provide dignified burial places, these cemeteries offer free interment services, often with specialized sections for military honors, and serve as lasting memorials to those who served in the armed forces. Managed primarily by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the system ensures that veterans receive respectful recognition of their sacrifice and service to the nation.
