What is a National Cemetery?

A cemetery created for urban planning
A cemetery for veterans and eligible family members
A private cemetery established by individuals
A cemetery exclusively for civil service workers

The correct answer is: A cemetery for veterans and eligible family members

A National Cemetery is specifically designated as a burial ground for veterans and their eligible family members. These cemeteries are managed by the federal government and provide a final resting place for those who have served in the military, reflecting the nation’s commitment to honoring their sacrifices. These cemeteries offer various benefits such as grave markers, interment flags, and the option for military honors, which underscores the respect and recognition afforded to those who have defended the country. The other options represent different types of cemeteries. Urban planning typically involves public spaces, housing, or infrastructure rather than the creation of cemeteries specifically. Private cemeteries established by individuals are not managed by the government and are oriented towards personal or family use, which differs significantly from the national purpose of National Cemeteries. Finally, a cemetery exclusively for civil service workers would be a niche designation not applicable to the broader category encompassing veterans, emphasizing the unique role of National Cemeteries in honoring military service rather than civil service.
