About Miramar National Cemetery

Miramar National Cemetery is a beautiful and serene place, where the memories and sacrifices of veterans are respected and celebrated. The cemetery is always impeccably maintained, with lush grounds that are kept pristine and well-kept. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in their work, always professional, respectful, and dedicated to ensuring everything runs on time and efficiently. One of the unique aspects of this cemetery is the view of Marine Ospreys, helicopters, and jets flying overhead nearby, a prime example of the military service that these brave men and women have provided to the United States of America. In a way, it is like the present is always honoring the past, while the past watches down on the present like angels. The cemetery provides a quiet atmosphere for visitors to reflect on the service of the military. Visitors find the grounds well-maintained and peaceful, making it a suitable setting for paying respects. The staff ensures a peaceful memorial service, with attention to detail such as the option for horse-drawn carriages and the presence of a bugler and Air Force color guard, which add dignity to the ceremonies. As the cemetery continues to expand, it is growing into a place that will serve generations to come, all while staying conveniently close to the freeway, a gas station, and the nearby Marine base. This makes it accessible for both locals and visitors, further emphasizing its commitment to serving the community and honoring the sacrifices of veterans.

    Why didn't they ever plant trees?? If I can't get Point Loma cremation spot then Mira Mar it is but it sure would be more pleasant for family members visiting if there were trees.

    The ceremony was well done! We had a bonus as the Miramar Air Show was happening at the same time. I feel my father-in-law, who served in WWII, would have loved that the air show was going on as a backdrop to his interment. Lovely day all around!

    Sprinklers came on around noonish today, Father's day , while we were visiting my dad. Good thing we laughed it off after being soaked by his tombstone.
    Other then that incident, it's a wonderful resting place.
