The new 313-acre national cemetery in San Diego, California, will serve Veterans’ needs well into the 21st century. It is located about 15 miles north of downtown San Diego at the northwest corner of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The main entrance to the cemetery is on Nobel Drive between Miramar Road and Interstate 805.
Miramar National Cemetery includes both gravesite and columbarium facilities, providing a full range of burial alternatives to approximately 235,000 Veterans in San Diego County. Nearby Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery closed to first interment casketed burials in 1966, though it continues to provide casketed interments of family members of those currently interred and inurnments of cremated remains.
The cemetery is built on land provided through a land-use agreement with the U.S. Marine Corps. This project, based on a design by Van Dyke Landscape Architects in San Diego, will develop approximately 42 acres of the 313-acre site providing 10 years of burial services.
