NEW HAMPSHIRE

The New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, New Hampshire is the state’s primary burial site dedicated to honoring U.S. veterans and their eligible family members.

It is a state-run veterans cemetery, meaning it operates under New Hampshire’s oversight with support from federal veterans programs. Its main purpose is to provide a dignified, uniform, and maintained final resting place for those who served in the U.S. military.  Eligible veterans typically receive burial benefits at no cost, along with military honors such as flag presentation and, when available, ceremonial support.

Located in a quiet rural area north of Concord, the grounds are designed to be peaceful and park-like, with uniform headstones, landscaped sections, and dedicated memorial spaces for reflection. It is open daily for visitation, allowing families and the public to pay respects year-round.

Overall, it functions as New Hampshire’s official veterans cemetery, created to ensure that those who served—and their families—have a respectful, consistent, and accessible place of remembrance.
