The Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery in Kaneohe provides burial for veterans and their eligible family members. It provides a gravesite, marker, grave liner, perpetual care and the opening and closing of the grave. Family members use a one-grave concept with interments at 6, 8 and 10 feet, and cremated remains can go in a columbarium niche or a ground plot. When both spouses are veterans, two gravesites and two headstones can be provided on request.
