Burials at National Cemeteries?

Re: Burials at National Cemeteries?

Last month I went to a service for a General. It was so interesting and very very moving all the protocol and ceremony. They even had a 13 canon fire
which at the time I didn't know the meaning of the number of shots and had to look it up when I got home. This General was only able to be buried at Punchbowl because his wife was there already as it's full.

The entire funeral made me feel so thankful for our military both active and no longer with us, it was a very moving afternoon.

Thanks for sharing your insights, Musubi. It certainly cleared up many of my questions.

You're most welcome. Glad to have been of service.

Sounds like for anyone who did not get the opportunity to reserve a plot for themselves, it takes some fortuitous timing and the right circumstances in order to receive a casket burial in Punchbowl.

I think that anyone who has coordinated final arrangements at NMCP would agree.
That pretty well sums it up.

As I told FM, you're most welcome! Aloha no, glad I could help.
