Minnesota has four state veterans cemeteries, at Little Falls, Duluth (located in Saginaw), Preston and Redwood Falls. Each provides a gravesite or columbarium niche, a pre-placed standard size grave liner, a headstone or niche cover, and perpetual care. There is no cost for a veteran’s burial. A spouse or eligible child is charged $1,002, which cannot be prepaid and is subject to change.
