As the holiday weekend approaches, we would like to remind our visitors that flower vases are available in several locations throughout the cemetery. Please look for the designated receptacles shown below.

Update phones are now down as well. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, we have a power outage and are unable to receive faxes or emails at this time. You can call the main office for assistance if you have basic questions, but we are unable to access any information regarding specific Veterans or services.

We’re happy to share that the water faucets for flower fill‑ups at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery will be turned on starting next week.

Please be patient as the system comes back online, as it may take some time for the water to fully flow through. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we get everything up and running.
We appreciate your care and support in helping us keep the cemetery beautiful. 🌼🌷 🌸

Families of veterans who are laid to rest in our cemetery are eligible to receive a Presidential Memorial Certificate. This is an engraved paper certificate, bearing the current President’s signature, honoring the veteran’s service to the nation.
The Presidential Memorial Certificate is issued and mailed directly to the family by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Please note that this certificate is not prepared or sent by our office, and delivery timeframes are determined by the federal government. Our office marks the box for processing while we order the grave marker.

We would like to inform the community that an improved handrail installation in our Scatter Garden walkway will take place next week (February 23rd–27th) at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery.

During this time, there may be construction equipment, temporary barriers, and crews working in the area. We kindly ask all visitors to please use caution, follow any posted signage, and pardon our construction as we work to enhance safety and accessibility within the Scatter Garden walkway.

This is one of several improvement projects planned for the cemetery in the coming months. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue enhancing the grounds for our veterans and their families.
