United States Cemetery Administration

The United States Cemetery Administration, now known as the National Cemetery Administration (NCA), is a part of the Department of Veterans Affairs responsible for managing and maintaining national cemeteries across the U.S. It provides military veterans and eligible family members with respectful and permanent burial options. The NCA ensures that these memorials honor veterans' service through well-maintained grounds, headstones, and related services. Its mission is to honor Veterans and their families with final resting places that demonstrate our nation's gratitude for their sacrifice.
