The majority of my father's remains rest in the NH State Veteran's cemetery. Some of his remains were scattered by me from the last flying B-24 bomber, he flew 35 combat missions as a turret and waist gunner on one of them. Although I can not visit his grave as often as I would like (an hour away) I am very pleased he is there. It is a beautiful cemetery, the most nicely kept one in the state. When I look at the markers of those who are buried there I know he is resting in good company for if they were all still alive they are the people he would enjoy talking with the most.

NH only recently changed it's rules to allow non NH residents to be buried there. If you want to use your veterans benefit check with your state Veteran's cemetery for eligibility, pre approval will make things easier for your loved ones and insure there is room at the inn so to speak. I hope to some day (another 50 or 60 years from now) to be buried near my dad.
