My husband, (Veteran) Navy/Marines was a Corpsman in the Vietnam conflict. He was exposed to Agent Orange during that time. During the last 12 years of his life he had many medical issues and passed away suddenly. I would recommend Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery at Marana, because of the friendliness, professionalism and compassion of Nicole Contreras, Administrator plus each ground keepers who took the time to carefully help place my husband remains behind his marble stone at the Columbarium wall. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, friends and family weren’t able to travel safely which was no fault of their own. I know that my husband of 53 years would understand. So if you know or have a loved one who is a veteran, please consider the Arizona Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery at Marana.
The ceremony for my father-in-law was beautiful. The flag ceremony was very touching.
