VA Adds Maps to Online Gravesite Locator


The grave locations of more than three million veterans and dependents buried in national cemeteries can be found more easily now because the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has added maps of burial sections online that can be printed from home computers and at national cemetery kiosks.

The maps are at the gravesite locator website, which helps veterans' families, former comrades-in-arms and others find the cemeteries where veterans are buried.

With the new online feature, people enter a veteran's name to search, click on the "Buried At" (burial location) link and a map of the national cemetery is displayed, showing the section where the grave is located.
