Can the wives of veterans Of any
wars of the United States be bur-
led at Arlington National Cemetery?
If they die before their husbands
can they be buried there?
Wives of veterans of the Civil
War may be buried in the national
cemetery and their burial can pre-
cede that of the veteran. Wives Of
Spanish American War veterans are
also entitled to burial in Arlington,
but interment preceding the death
of her husband would be determ-
ined by circumstances. The burial
Of the wife Of a World War vet
eran cannot precede that of her
husband. In case a soldier Is bur-
led in the national cemetery and 1t
is anticipated that his widow wishes
to be buried in the grave with him,
arrangements are made with the
War Department that the grave be
made deep enough to accommodate
SECOND casket on top of the SOL
dier's casket in the same grave. Of
ficer's' wives can be buried on the
same lot with their husbands.
