Replacing the Veteran's 3 Mausoleum
Recently, the decision was made to replace the Veteran’s 3 Mausoleum with a new mausoleum at Hampton Memorial Gardens. The new mausoleum is located approximately 100 yards from the Veteran’s 3 Mausoleum. The decision was based on various factors including the advanced age of the Veteran’s 3 Mausoleum and certain structural issues that have come to light recently. The new mausoleum has been completed, and it is a beautiful addition to the cemetery.
As part of this process, we will be relocating the remains that are currently in the Veteran’s 3 Mausoleum to a comparable crypt in the new mausoleum. We do not yet know the exact date the relocation of remains will be carried out, but we anticipate the relocation to occur during the summer. The record of the new location of each individual’s remains will be maintained at Hampton Memorial Gardens and will be posted on the website when it is available.
Hampton will assess each casket/urn that it is relocating and will determine whether a new casket/urn is necessary. The relocation to the new mausoleum along with a new casket/urn (should it be necessary) will be done entirely at Hampton’s cost, and there will be absolutely no charge to any family.
Although it is necessary to move all remains to the new mausoleum, we have petitioned the local court for formal approval of our relocation plan. The hearing to approve the petition has not yet been scheduled, but if you wish to receive a copy of the petition and hearing date (once scheduled) or any additional information regarding our relocation plan, please contact James Stuart at 757-766-1063.
Thank you very much for your consideration. We truly value your family and the trust you have placed in us in caring for your loved one.

At Hampton Memorial Gardens cemetery a natural brook winds through our garden—where a bridge adds charm and provides a quiet place to reflect on memories. The center of our new Commonwealth Circle Estates features a Four Apostles monument and a monument of Jesus to honor those of Christian faith.
