"The chairs, tent and table set up for our graveside service were much nicer than I had expected. In this time of Covid we opted for a small outside service which I felt was more personal than a larger indoor one. Our counselor was nearby the entire time and stayed afterward until the burial was complete. This provided a sense of closure as we left the site. The weather was perfect that day which also added to an overall good experience."

"During COVID-19, clean facility and masks and hand sanitizer were emphasized. The technology using large screen made the financial side of providing what our parents easy to see and understand. The day of the funeral Walter Estrada was present to oversee and assisted the minister. Month after the funeral our family returned to graveside where we placed our 3 American flags next to the clearly marked plot. It was a very serene time because we were able to follow the wishes of our parents."

Thankfully, the team got together and we were presented with the option to stream the burial with Zoom and our mom was so pleased.

"My mother bought several burial sites soon after she moved to the Washington, DC area in 1936. Over the years, we were able to three of the four sites, Mother had purchased through sale and arrangements with National Memorial Park. Happily the sites sat empty until 1979 when my father passed away. Then in 2006 my mother was interred next to my father. In March 2019 my older brother was laid to rest in the plot. There is one burial location left that already has my marker on it, for the time when I will join the rest of the family. The $500 original purchase made by a young woman has more than paid off for our family. We all feel National Memorial Park is a beautiful cemetery that provides a serene final resting spot."
