Where is the closest national cemetery for veterans?
Although the Golden Gate National Cemetery was established for Bay Area veterans, the cemetery has been full for a number of years. Occasionally, due to a reservation cancellation, grave spaces become available. We will check with the cemetery for availability at the time of need. In general, to receive a complimentary grave, the nearest national cemeteries are the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery, located in Gustine, CA, approximately 120 miles from the Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, located in Dixon, CA, approximately 80 miles from the Bay Area.
