Alabama National Cemetery - Gravesite Expansion Phase 3

Department of Veterans Affairs

Provide cemetery services to veterans and other eligible persons. The national cemetery administration (NCA) is contracting this 33.6-acre cemetery expansion project to increase the burial capacity of Jefferson barracks national cemetery (JBNC) to serve veterans in the area. The proposed development will provide continued service to an estimated fiscal year (FY) 2024 veteran population of approx.208,000 within a 75-mi service area. The purpose of this phase 1 expansion and development project for national cemetery is to enable the existing national cemetery to continue to provide for an additional 15-year inventory of the more efficient casketed, double-depth, pre-placed crypts before depletion of the current inventory and extend the full range of burial options until FY 2045, as well as provide several nominal cemetery operational and infrastructure improvements within the older cemetery grounds.
