Veterans Affairs Department - National Cemetery System

The National Cemetery System (NCS) provides services to veterans, active duty personnel, reservists, and NATIONAL GUARD members with 20 years' qualifying service and their families by operating national CEMETERIES and furnishing headstones and markers for graves. The NCS provides presidential memorial certificates to the loved ones of honorably discharged, deceased service members, and veterans. The NCS also awards grants to aid states in developing, improving, and expanding veterans' cemeteries.

The National Cemetery area offices (located in Atlanta, Georgia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Denver, Colorado) provide direct support to the 114 national cemeteries located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
