The West Point Post Cemetery offers in-ground burial and columbarium niches for cremated remains, with chapel services and military funeral honors available on request from the next of kin. Burials are scheduled on a first come, first served basis at the time of need. The cemetery sits on an active military installation, so entry and identification requirements apply.
