Nevada has two veterans cemeteries, the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Fernley and the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City. There is no charge for a veteran’s plot, vault, opening and closing of the gravesite, or headstone. Burial of a veteran’s spouse or dependent costs $450. Your family can also ask for military funeral honors through the funeral director.

The veteran’s DD214 or other discharge paperwork, and a marriage certificate or proof of dependency for family members.
