Our Story
The Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery at Marana (AVMC-M) is located on 32 acres of high desert landscaped property. Phase one of the cemetery includes 1802 burial plots, 1938 cremated remains burial plots, and 1920 columbarium niches. Five phases are currently planned.

  • The cemetery was made possible by a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Administration to the State of Arizona, authorizing the State to operate and maintain the Veterans’ Cemetery. The AVMC-M is the 100th state veterans’ cemetery nationwide to be built under the federal Department of Veterans Affairs cemetery grants program.
  • The cemetery’s first interment took place on March 14, 2016.
  • Dedication was held on March 26, 2016.
