I know this post is buried in with other posts much more relevant than this one, but give me a short read. All veterans may qualify to be buried in a Federal Veteran's Cemetery, we all know that. However, you may not know that your state may, and probably does, have one or more state sponsored Veteran's Cemeteries where we can be buried at no cost. My state, Maryland, has several Veteran's Cemeteries, one of which Linda and I utilized to bury her uncle and her aunt. It is a beautiful piece of ground, part of a lovely state park in mountainous Allegheny County, Maryland. Plots are provided for veterans and their spouses and funeral homes are familiar with the relationship between them and the state sponsored facilities. Consider utilizing these state facilities when burying your family members who have served our country.
