Burial in a national cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
A Veteran's spouse, widow or widower, minor dependent children, and under certain conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities may also be eligible for burial. Eligible spouses and children may be buried even if they predecease the Veteran.
Members of the reserve components of the armed forces who die while on active duty or who die while on training duty, or were eligible for retired pay, may also be eligible for burial.
Fax all discharge documentation to the National Cemetery Scheduling Office at 1-866-900-6417 and follow-up with a phone call to 1-800-535-1117.

In addition to the Department of Defense military funeral honors program, "Honoring Those Who Served," the Riverside National Cemetery Memorial Honor Detail (MHD) is generally available Monday through Friday to provide military funeral honors for veterans. MHD teams are strictly volunteers and vary in size and scope, from folding and presenting the flag only, to full honors with a rifle salute and bugler. All military funeral honors performed by the MHD are provided at NO COST to the family.

For educational materials and additional information on this cemetery, please visit the Education section, located below.
The intent of our floral guidelines is to ensure that we maintain the cemetery with the dignity befitting a National Shrine. We ask for your understanding and cooperation with our efforts.
We welcome fresh-cut flowers throughout the year and provide flower containers for gravesite display. Cemetery visitors are free to use the containers located in receptacles placed throughout the grounds. Once the blooms are spent or damaged, they are removed.
When placing floral items, please do not use glass containers, rocks, wire or other objects that could cause injury to cemetery staff or visitors. Mowers and trimmers can cause unseen items to become dangerous projectiles. For example, items incorporating beads or wires may become entangled in mowers or other equipment and cause injury. Permanent plantings, statues, vigil lights, breakable objects and similar items are not permitted on the graves.
To maintain the dignity of the cemetery, commemorative items, balloons, pinwheels, glass or breakable items, votive lights, statues, shepherd's hooks are not allowed. If you have question, please ask us.
Cemetery staff will immediately remove items deemed inappropriate or unsafe. Items appearing to be of sentimental or keepsake value will be retained for one month. These items remain the property of the donor but are under the custodianship of the cemetery. If not retrieved by the donor, they are then governed by the rules for disposal of federal property.
No item or object may be attached to the headstone or niche cover. Headstones and niche covers are federal property, altering or marking by paint, marker, lipstick or any other means is prohibited.
Modifications to the weekly flower pickup schedule are made for the following holidays: Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the Christmas season.
Seasonal Holiday Adornments for Christmas and Hanukkah, such as wreaths, potted poinsettias and other seasonal items may be placed on graves from the third Saturday in December (National Wreaths Across America Day) through the third Monday in January (Martin Luther King Jr. Day). During the holiday season: The cemetery's decorating policy allows, for the following floral arrangements, floral grave blankets about 2 feet by 3 feet, wreaths up to 20 inches in diameter and potted plants and trees no more than 24 inches tall. The potted plants and trees are allowed only if they are not permanent and are decorated with unbreakable ornaments.
