Arizona runs veterans’ memorial cemeteries at Sierra Vista, Bellemont near Camp Navajo, and Marana. Burial includes the plot, opening and closing the grave, a concrete liner for casket burials, a government marker and perpetual care, and columbaria niches and in-ground burial of cremated remains are available. There is no charge to bury a veteran; burial of a spouse or dependent costs a one-time $780. Spaces are assigned at the time of need and cannot be reserved in advance.
