The Arizona State Veterans’ Cemeteries provide a lasting final benefit in honor of Veterans and their families with a final resting place in appreciation and gratitude for their service and sacrifice to our nation.

About Our Cemeteries

The Arizona Department of Veterans' Services runs three cemeteries across the state: Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery at Camp Navajo in Bellmont, Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery at Marana in Marana, and Southern Arizona Veterans' Memorial Cemetery in Sierra Vista. The three Veterans' Cemeteries provide a lasting, final benefit for our Arizona Veterans and their families. Each cemetery is run and maintained by a caring and supportive staff who are dedicated to making sure those who have been laid to rest are respected and remembered. Veterans and their families have a number of gravesite options: in-ground casket burial, in-ground urn burial and columbarium burial.

Burial in the cemetery includes a gravesite, opening and closing of the gravesite, a concrete liner (casket burials only), government marker and perpetual care at no cost. Spaces are assigned at the time of need and may not be reserved. 

Eligibility for Interment

Burial is open to all members of the Armed Forces, including National Guard and reservists, and Veterans discharged from active duty under Honorable conditions (with certain exceptions). 

Their spouses, un-remarried widow or widower, minor children and under certain conditions, unmarried adult dependent children may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses may be buried even if the predecease the Veteran. Also eligible for burial are members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces, National Guard and Reserve Officer Training Corps who die while on active duty for training or performing service, who have 20 years of service in the reserve components of the Armed Forces creditable for retired pay.
