New queuing lanes established for funeral attendees

3/16/2018

Queuing lanes Arlington National Cemetery recently established queuing lanes just outside the Administration Building to assist family members and guests attending funeral services on these hallowed grounds.

The queuing lanes were designed to make funeral service attendees' arrival and procession to their loved ones' final resting place as seamless and efficient as possible.

Family members and guests who do not have a Chapel Service scheduled should arrive at the Administration Building no earlier than 45 minutes prior to their scheduled service time.

After arriving at the cemetery's main entrance on Memorial Avenue (attendees should be prepared to show a valid state government-issued form of identification for entry), attendees will proceed to their designated queuing lane. After parking, attendees should check in with the receptionist inside the Administration Building.

The funeral's cemetery representative will direct attendees on how to exit the queuing lanes for the procession to the burial site.
