Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery in Leavenworth County

Having a father buried St. James, France in the American Military Cemetery over there and a husbands ashes buried in Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery I cannot say enough. I totally understand the rules, but no longer will I place any type of arrangement on my husbands grave except in the fall where they are not removed as fast. But totally understand why they have to be removed in the spring and summer because it creates mowing problems. Both cemeteries are beautiful and peaceful. The one in France though has flowering shrubs as hedge rows, so there are flowers almost all spring and summer. I would suggest anyone visiting a loved ones grave on the Fort, take a blanket, a sandwich, etc. (leaving no trash behindand sit enjoy a snack with your love.

Beautiful!!!

My husband thomas Daniel kilbane was laid to rest of his ashes . The national cemetery really did a great job. , that day and my husband headstone is really beautiful and a blessing as will to see his headstone , just the way I wanted it and also the way my beloved husband wanted it To. I am so please with them

My nephew Leon Davis was buried there in 2004. Its so quiet & serene. When TAPS was played, I felt an overwhelming sense of loss for them all.

My kids are 16 & 17 they lost their dad just last year. My daughter wanted to put a balloon on her dads grave for his birthday. I understand the "rules". However while we were sitting crying at his grave mourning our loss of their father a man confronted us with a flyer of the rules and insisted she take her balloon home. It was incredibly rude. I am shocked and she is devastated. Its bad enough my kids lost their dad. Let them cry and have their moment. We could have driven away and she would have never known had he just waited a minute to take it away. Instead I rode the over an hour car ride home with a crying daughter holding her balloon. Im not sure when shell want to go back. I respect all you do to make it a nice resting place, please respect those that show up to mourn and give them peace even if just for a moment.

Ulgy

Beautiful.
