Omaha National Cemetery


OMAHA NATIONAL CEMETERY

Omaha, Nebraska


The new 236-acre cemetery in Sarpy County, Nebraska will serve the burial needs of more than 112,000 Veterans in the cemetery’s service area for the next 100 years. This cemetery is the second Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national cemetery in the State of Nebraska.

The Department of Veterans Affairs purchased the property in 2012 for $6.2 million.

The Dedication Ceremony took place on Aug 5, 2016 and the First Interments took place on September 27, 2016.

This cemetery is currently operational but only has options for in-ground burial space available to accommodate casketed and cremated remains until the fall of 2017. In the fall of 2017, additional options will become available for cremation placement and will include an ossuary and a columbarium. Burial in a national cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. A Veteran’s spouse, widow or widower, minor dependent children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses and children may be buried even if they predecease the Veteran. Members of the reserve components of the armed forces who die while on active duty or who die while on training duty, or were eligible for retired pay, may also be eligible for burial.
