Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery is located at the end of Point Loma in San Diego, CA. There are currently approximately 100,000 individuals interred here. The cemetery is now closed to new interments. The only interments that are being accepted are subsequent interments for veterans or eligible family members in an existing grave-site. On occasion however, burial space may become available due to disinterment from an existing grave site. If this happens, the cemetery will assign such grave sites or columbarium niches to other eligible Veterans or family members.

Burial in a national cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. A Veteran’s spouse, widow or widower, minor dependent children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses and children may be buried even if they predecease the Veteran. Members of the reserve components of the armed forces who die while on active duty or who die while on training duty, or were eligible for retired pay, may also be eligible for burial.

Most often military honors are performed before the interment as well as a short service.
