In 1997, the 81st Arkansas General Assembly authorized the establishment of a state veterans cemetery. On Nov. 11, 2001, the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery was formally dedicated to serve all honorably discharged veterans. The cemetery, situated on an 82-acre site, is located in North Little Rock at 1501 West Maryland Avenue. The Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs operates the cemetery to commemorate the military service of our deceased veterans. Our cemetery system provides the visiting family and friends an atmosphere of peacefulness and dignity. The staff of the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery is dedicated to providing an honorable place of rest for veterans; to preserve the dignity, beauty, and serenity of this state-of-the-art facility; and to honor all who sacrificed so much, making possible the freedoms we enjoy every day.
