Veterans are buried in several separate systems. This directory covers VA national cemeteries and state, territorial and tribal veterans cemeteries. For the others, these are the official sources.
U.S. Army
Arlington National Cemetery
Managed by the Department of the Army, not the VA. It has its own eligibility rules and its own grave locator.
Overseas
American Battle Monuments Commission
The federal agency that maintains permanent American military cemeteries and memorials outside the United States.
National Park Service
National cemeteries in national parks
Some historic national cemeteries, many at Civil War battlefields, are managed by the National Park Service.
