What Our Families are Saying
We always visit the cemetery on weekends and we appreciate the cleanliness and upkeep of the grounds and columbariums. It means a lot to our family that the resting place of our brother is respected.
Visiting my sisters at the Guam Veterans Cemetery is a routine our family keeps up with every year. We are glad to see that the grounds are maintained with such pristine.
My grandfather would’ve been happy to see that where he lies is always kept up with. We aren’t always around to keep up his resting place, but it seems there are hardworking individuals that make sure all resting places are well kept and respected.
