The burden related to the number of requests for disinterment made in a national cemetery is increasing and can be unanticipated based on the veteran population surrounding that national cemetery. There are a number of reasons for the increase in disinterment actions to more than 1777 in the current period of review: 1. The decedent’s family relocates to another area and disinters their loved one to be at a nearby cemetery. 2. Family/next of kin (NOK) disinters the remains and relocates the remains to a private cemetery where other family members are buried. 3. Cemetery disinters remains and reinters at another gravesite within the same cemetery (i.e. family member is interred in the columbaria, garden niche, or an in-ground location. The subsequent interment is a casketed burial, the cremated remains are disinterred and the remains are joined in the casket site. Most Veteran authorized one gravesite).
