Veterans Cemeteries
The Northern California Veterans Cemetery
What Once Was a Mere Dream is Now Reality
Construction finished on the long-awaited state veterans cemetery in Shasta County in December 2005.
Thanks to a combination of federal state and county funds, and the tireless efforts of many, veterans
in the northern California region has a new state benefit in the form of dignified military burials.
A dedication ceremony took place on November 11, 2005.
The Northern California Veterans Cemetery (NCVC) is the first state-owned and operated veterans cemetery
in the Golden State. The cemetery serves the veteran population in eighteen Northern California counties
and provides sufficient burial space for more than twenty years. Any eligible veteran, along with
spouses and eligible dependents, may be interred at the cemetery (see
eligibility requirements).
