Here is a link to a page on the official Arlington National Cemetery website that addresses eligibility. Although Congress is proposing a new set of eligibility criteria, this fact sheet will help answer some questions. We have also found that it is very difficult to call ANC and find out answers to eligibility questions, so we have provided a link to a local funeral home’s website that are experts on Arlington National Cemetery. Their funeral home office in Arlington is actually on Joint Base Myer/Henderson Hall and they have a page with video answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
