Veteran Cemeteries

“Honor to the Soldier, and the Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause.”
–Abraham Lincoln

For over 400 years, Virginia’s sons and daughters have fought for America’s freedom. Today, we enjoy our way of life thanks to each Virginian who took up arms and defended our nation and our liberty.

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services’ three veterans cemeteries provide a final resting place for our veterans and eligible family members — 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 in Suffolk, and the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery is 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.
