Administration Building Renovations Complete

7/28/2020

Arlington National Cemetery is pleased to announce the completion of renovations to its iconic Administration Building.

As of Tuesday, July 28, funeral attendees will continue to arrive and park in the funeral queuing lot. However, the primary next of kin (PNOK) or person designated to direct disposition (PADD) will now proceed to the newly renovated Administration Building, rather than the temporary modular facility used during the renovation.

Due to COVID-19 constraints, no more than two people may enter the Administration Building for final funeral coordination.   Cemetery representatives will walk out to the funeral queuing lot to guide funeral attendees to the gravesite.
