Robin, strange you should mention the state veterans cemeteries. Linda's uncle was buried in the Veterans Cemetery in Allegheny County, Maryland, adjacent to the Rocky Gap State Park. We found out about it when we were looking for a free burial that didn't involve a lot of red tape. His home was in Lavale, MD, just a few miles from the cemetery. We couldn't believe how nice the factility was, right in the middle of grouse country, a resort and enormous lake on the property, really out in the mountains. We later buried Linda's aunt there. I always thought I would be in a crypt at Arlington, but no, I will be out there in Western Maryland at Rocky Gap. By the way, Rocky Gap State Park is now a major casino venue. Best of both worlds. This is one of at least two state sponsored veterans cemeteries in MD. Please investigate your state veterans cemeteries so you don't have to go to God forsaken Arlington. Just joking, of course. I would be honored to be buried at Arlington like many of my friends.
