[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for your loss. One funeral I attended there had to wait 6 months. Those passing while on active duty have priority.[/quote] Another factor in waiting time is whether you want the service to be at the Old Post Chapel or graveside. A family member (spouse of retired Army officer) died in August, and we had to wait until Nov. 1 for a graveside service. The funeral director said that we'd have to wait at least twice as long to get a spot for the chapel service, adding that if we wanted Quantico--or really, any other national cemetery besides Arlington--we could have the interment the next week. Arlington does know how to do military funerals though -- the last one we attended, which began at the chapel, featured a riderless horse, 21-gun salute, taps, etc. A very fitting tribute. [/quote]
