In response to the spread of COVID-19, the New Mexico Dept. of Veterans Services has temporarily suspended in-person office assistance and changed interment procedures at the Gallup State Veterans Cemetery.

In-person office visits will be replaced by telephone, video conference or e-mail contact.  All previously scheduled personal visits will be rescheduled.

In compliance with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s public health order, committal, funeral memorial services and the rendering of military funeral honors, by active military personnel or volunteer organizations, are being temporarily postponed.

Immediate family gatherings will be limited to five people at interments.  Cemetery staff will work with families to schedule a full committal or memorial service at a later date.
