Assistance Applying for VA Disability Benefits

Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery

Located in Randolph Center, our cemetery performs more burials a year than any other cemetery in the state.  It is a beautiful location that honors the service of our veterans by providing them perpetual recognition.  The cemetery isn't just for veterans, though, as veteran's spouses and some dependents are also eligible for burial.
