Documents required for scheduling a service

7/26/2013

Arlington National Cemetery requires all documentation to efficiently schedule your loved ones' service. The required documents are the DD214 (or service equivalent) to establish eligibility for the eligible service member, death certificate, and cremation certificate if applicable.
It is the family's responsibility to provide the service member's eligibility documents. A service will not be scheduled until all required documents are received.
