Arlington National Cemetery's inclement weather plan for March 6, 2013

3/5/2013
Arlington National Cemetery is preparing for inclement weather, forecasted for March 6, 2013. The cemetery is planning to conduct funeral services scheduled for that day.

Should accumulation of snow/ice impact the ability to safely conduct funeral services at Arlington National Cemetery, the next-of-kin or funeral home will be contacted immediately to determine whether the service should be postponed or modified. If the weather impacts a next-of-kin’s ability to attend the service, Arlington will give that service a priority for rescheduling.

Please note that based upon weather, honor guards may reduce or modify the honors available.
