BURIAL GUIDE FOR
ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY

A lone bugle sounds “Taps” in solemn tones. The sun glints off clean, white headstones that dot the rolling green hills. Arlington National Cemetery is a place filled with moving images—a fitting tribute to America’s men and women who served in the Armed Forces. It serves as a shrine to America’s fallen, but it is also an active cemetery where an average of 28 burials take place each day. If you or a loved one are considering being buried at Arlington, you’ll find the information in the Guide to Burial at Arlington National Cemetery to be very helpful. This free brochure outlines eligibility requirements, contact information for officials at the cemetery, and answers to frequently asked questions. For a copy of this brochure, send your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 539R, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 539R. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
