The U.S. Nationwide Gravesite Locator is a search engine that allows the researcher to discover burial locations for veterans and their families.
From the site:
- Search the Nationwide Gravesite Locator (NGL) for burial locations of Veterans and their family members in VA national cemeteries, state veterans cemeteries, various other military and Department of Interior cemeteries, and for Veterans buried in private cemeteries when the grave is marked with a government grave marker.
- Search the NGL for Veterans that received an urn or plaque benefit from VA.
- The urn/plaque records from VA and the burial records from many sources are updated daily.
- The sources provide varied data; some searches may contain less information than others. Information on Veterans buried in private cemeteries was collected for the purpose of furnishing government grave markers and we do not have information available for burials prior to 1997.
The VA’s urn and plaque benefit provides a commemorative urn or plaque to honor a deceased veteran who was cremated. The VA will give these items to eligible applicants instead of a headstone, marker, or medallion
