Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are special resting places close to home where friends, family, and fellow Texans can honor Texas Veterans. The sacrifices they laid upon the altar of freedom will never be diminished or forgotten.

The staff at our Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are there to help each Texas Veteran and their family in their time of need. 

Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are built through a partnership between the state of Texas and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are managed by the Texas Veterans Land Board. They complement the six national cemeteries in Dallas-Ft. Worth, El Paso, Houston, Kerrville, and San Antonio (2). Burial benefits at Texas State Veterans Cemeteries are identical to those for VA National
