About the Fort Snelling National Cemetery
Fort Snelling National Cemetery is a historic institution located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Established between the world wars, it was the first major expansion of the national cemetery system since the Civil War, serving a growing veteran population. The cemetery is dedicated to honoring the memory of nearly 10 million veterans, allowing visitors to post tributes, upload images, and share military service timelines and achievements.
The cemetery offers burial space for casketed and cremated remains, open to all members of the armed forces who have met active duty service requirements. Eligible spouses, widows, widowers, and dependent children may also be buried at the cemetery. The cemetery is home to the first all-volunteer Memorial Rifle Squad, which performs funeral honors daily for veterans.
Visitors can place fresh cut flowers on graves throughout the year, with guidelines for artificial flowers and seasonal decorations. Pets are not allowed in the cemetery, and recreational activities are prohibited. Smoking and possession of firearms are also prohibited on the grounds.
Fort Snelling National Cemetery has a rich history, dating back to the establishment of the frontier post in 1805. The cemetery was established in the 1930s to accommodate the growing veteran population in the region. Today, it stands as a solemn tribute to those who have served their country with honor and dedication.

Reviews of Fort Snelling National Cemetery
"My dad was recently laid to rest at Fort Snelling this fall. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful military burial service. From the instructions on what to expect the day of, to the gentleman who met the procession to walk us through exactly what to do and where to go, it was so well organized. Everyone we spoke to was very professional and friendly which made a sad day a little easier to have the details thought through and people to guide you."
"Maintenance is great, grass is always cut and leaves are picked up. Great view of MSP runway"
"Memorial Day weekend we drove to the National Cemetery. Easy to find the remains of loved ones by either internet search or calling the cemetery. There is a kiosk with a number or letter on the screen. Great day to reflect on memories of these people, serving our country, paying the price willingly!"
"Sacred place where our veterans are buried. Those who died in protection of our country and those who served in the US. Armed Forces."
"It is 5/27/2018: I visited the cemetery today for Memorial Day. It is a beautiful sight to see the white stones with flags by them. The grounds are meticulously maintained. As I was taking pictures a visitor placed the red rose on the memorial for the Sky Soldiers that served in Viet Nam. Why she did this is unknown and she did not know I was watching. Obviously the monument had meaning to her. If you read the copy and look at the flower it is a great way to remember those who served."
