Reviews
"Tranquil.. This cemetery is really something to see and a beautiful location to bury a military loved one. My family visited on memorial day to pay our respects, and to see some of the memorial through the cemetery. It really is a beautiful place, very well kept, and a nice place for family members to sit and reflect on those lost. Beautiful and respectful… Wheelchair accessible parking lot and entrance."
"First off I want to thank all of the veterans and their families that are buried in this beautiful place. My mother and father recently laid to rest here. It's been a very difficult time. I do have to say this place is beautiful."
"Absolutely stunning! I'm proud to visit my dad's remains there. Thank you for all you do and thank you to all those who have served."
"Where they placed my father's remains, what a place to visit. The ceremony offered for him was pretty memorable, very good job by the servicemen. I thank the people for the service at his funeral very much, I thank everyone's effort towards everything that was provided."
"My experience at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies is a very peaceful place. It's a military cemetery the grounds are kept very nice. It is easy for me to find my husband. The view from my husband's grave site is beautiful. The headstones are all in unison. It is a nice place to have your Veteran's final resting place."
