The Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) State Veterans Cemetery, Medical Lake resumed interment services for Veterans and eligible individuals effective Monday, March 30. WDVA is limiting attendees to groups of 10 or fewer immediate family members only, in accordance with state directives. Larger groups will be asked to reduce their numbers or be refused service.
As a matter of public health and safety, the rendering of military funeral honors, whether by military personnel or volunteer organizations, will not be conducted until further notice.
In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of our employees conducting interments, the cemetery will not accept floral arrangements with interments.
The cemetery remains open to visitors, but we strongly urge all guests to obey local travel restrictions and avoid unnecessary travel. Visitors should expect that certain portions of a cemetery typically open to the public may be closed (for example, public information center).
