I already know what section eternally appeals to me. What now?

If so, please email staff@congressionalcemetery.org and ask to be scheduled for a pre-need appointment. Please let us know whether you’re planning for cremation or burial and the section of the cemetery that interests you most.

The average wait time for an appointment is typically over 2 months, and often appointments for pre-need burial plots are bumped by funerals and at-need burial plots.

We have one person who sells plots, and who also handles all funerals, interments, headstone installations, and any other family needs or requests with graves at the cemetery.

We ask for your patience and understanding. Please know we want to serve you and we love how much you love Historic Congressional Cemetery. We share your love!
