From the Jonesborough Herald-Tribune, Feb. 20, 2002:
The VA does not maintain information on persons buried in cemeteries other than the VA's 119
national cemeteries. VA records do not contain any personal, military or family information on
the decedents. The VA can tell genealogists if the individual is buried in a VA national cemetery
and where.

No form is required to request Veterans Burial Locations and no fee is charged. When
requesting a burial location search, please provide the following information on each individual:
-Full name, including any alternate spellings
-Date and place of birth
-Date and place of death
-State from which the individual entered active duty
-Military service branch
Most requests take approximately four weeks for a reply. Be sure to include your return mailing
address, phone number or internet e-mail address with your request and send it to: U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, (402B Burial Location
Request, 810 Vermont Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20420.
