  • Very well manicured. The main office was closed when we were there but they don't have a self service kiosk that you can use to locate graves.

  • The Alabama National Cemetery is a must stop if you’re in central Alabama. This is hallowed ground for families of the Veterans interred there. It doesn’t have the history of Arlington but is as well....  more

  • We was there yesterday for my cousins burial service. The campus grounds are well taken care of and manicured. The American flag was being flown at half staff. We was lined up in our vehicles and escorted to the outside burial location. Then we walked to the outside chapel area. There were soldier's in there uniforms, they saluted the coffin, removed the flag and folded it very specifically. They presented the folded flag to his wife with a verbal condolences from The President of the United States. A bugler played Taps and this was very serene. We then was escorted to his final graveside. A peaceful area indeed.
  • Memorial Day visit. Employees very helpful. Grounds clean and well kept. Finding a friend or acquaintance easy with the locator at the office.
