Was at Camp Nelson yesterday for a burial. Our family was treated with dignity and respect. Also while there my grandson wanted to visit the grave site of his paternal grandfather who recently died. The staff were so very welcoming and handled a seven-year-old with respect and care as he grieved afresh for a few minutes. We talked to a couple of the employees and they were kind and gentle and seemed to truly feel honored to take care of the remains of our military and their families.
I visited Camp Nelson Cemetery on June 23, 2017. I hosted a tour group and had scheduled a tour through the cemetery office. The cemetery director was ill on this date so our tour was conducted by the Manager of the Grounds, Jason. He did a wonderful job and the tour was very informative. It is amazing the background logistics required to maintain the cemetery in its current state. I would like to thank the office staff for their help in arranging the tour, and especially Jason for conducting our tour. This is truly a sacred place where the remains of many of our nations heroes are buried. A great place to visit to better understand how our nation continues to honor our veterans daily.
My grandfather served in in WW2, and the remainder of his life, was buried here in 1977. My kids and I visit his graveside at least twice a year. The grounds are always immaculate and it is a great place to have a picnic, while honoring the heroes of U.S. wars dating back to the Civil War period.
I was humbled to be in the presence of such honor. Thank you all for your service.
My dad Billy K. Lovelace was placed in Camp Nelson April 29, 2014. His committal service was done with great honor and dignity. This is such a peaceful place, and the staff is very helpful.
Wonderful peaceful cemetery love that my pappap is resting in such a beautiful place!
