Memorial Cemeteries

Georgia's veteran memorial cemeteries provide burial and memorial benefits to veterans and their eligible family members.

There is no cost for the gravesite, vault, marker, use of the committal chapel, and burial. Both cemeteries are operated to the same shrine-level status as a national VA cemetery. 

Those eligible for burial include: 

• Veterans under the rules established by VA
• Retired or VA service-connected members of the Reserves/National Guard
• Armed Forces service members who die while on active duty
• Veteran's spouse
• Veteran's minor child
• Veteran's adult unmarried disabled child

Others may be eligible for burial. Please contact cemetery staff at Glennville or Milledgeville for more information. 

Proper documentation is needed to verify eligibility. Examples include a DD214 or military discharge paperwork for a veteran, a marriage certificate for a veteran's spouse, a birth certificate for a veteran's child, or medical documentation for an adult unmarried disabled child.
