Which type of cemetery is designed primarily for military veterans?

Veterans cemeteries are specifically designed to honor and provide a final resting place for military veterans. These cemeteries often offer benefits such as burial in a designated area, headstones at no cost, and the presence of military honors during burial ceremonies. The main purpose of these cemeteries is to recognize the sacrifices made by veterans and provide a dignified place for their interment, often incorporating elements of military tradition.

Private cemeteries serve the general public and are operated for profit or charitable purposes, and while they may accept veterans, they do not have the same specific focus on military service members. Family cemeteries are typically smaller, often located on private property, and are intended for the interment of family members rather than catering specifically to veterans. Urban cemeteries encompass a wide range of burial types and may include veterans but do not specifically focus on veterans as their primary demographic.
