Funeral Information

The primary mission of Arlington National Cemetery is to function as the nation's premier military cemetery and shrine honoring those men and women who served in the Armed Forces. The cemetery remains active with funeral services Monday through Saturday, conducting between 27 and 30 services each week day and between 6 and 8 services on Saturday.

Funeral services are held: 

Monday through Friday, except federal holidays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m

Saturday services are also available from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for placements and services for cremated remains that do not require military honors or military chaplain support. Services are not scheduled on Saturdays that precede a federal holiday on Monday.

Family members and others attending the service should arrive at the cemetery approximately 30-45 minutes prior to the scheduled service time.
