Impact of Inclement Weather on Operations at Arlington National Cemetery

10/26/2012
In extreme weather conditions, Arlington National Cemetery takes great care to ensure that its employees, families attending services and visitors take the necessary precautions to protect themselves against the elements. Impacts from Hurricane Sandy could be felt in the Washington D.C. area as early as this weekend. Currently, Arlington National Cemetery is planning to conduct normal cemetery operations. Arlington National Cemetery does not postpone funeral services because of inclement weather. A service may be delayed if the weather presents a safety hazard (i.e. thunder and lightning). A funeral service may be postponed at the request of the family. If you are planning to attend a service, please check the funeral schedule on the homepage of the website. If you are planning to visit Arlington, please monitor the website for updates on cemetery operations.
