INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time since 1959, Indianapolis-area Veterans and their eligible family members have the opportunity to have their cremated remains interred in a local Veterans cemetery.
A new 15 acre columbarium annex expansion at Crown Hill National Cemetery was dedicated Friday. The columbarium will only accommodate the above-ground burial of cremated remains.
According to the VA, burial in a national cemetery is available to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active-duty service requirement, except if they left under a dishonorable discharge.
In order for them to remain with their family, the eligibility rules allow for a Veteran's spouse, minor dependent children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities to be buried alongside them.
