U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs

The Winchester National Cemetery, part of the National Cemetery Administration, serves as a final resting place for veterans and eligible family members, honoring their service and sacrifice. The cemetery is currently closed to new interments, accepting only subsequent interments for veterans or eligible family members in existing gravesites on a first-come, first-served basis.

Eligibility for burial includes all members of the armed forces who meet the minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, along with their spouses, widows, and dependent children. The cemetery also accommodates members of the reserve components who die while on active duty or during training, ensuring that those who served are remembered and honored appropriately.
