Arlington Columbarium

As noted in the February 2009 VFW Magazine, page 8, Arlington National Cemetery has opened its "ninth outdoor structure for entombing cremated remains...This columbarium is six feet tall and close to half a mile long. The outdoor wall will contain some 6,500 remains."

The article goes on to note that in 2011, "Arlington County will exchange a 4.3-acre parcel of land with the federal government, providing up to 3,440 new burial sites. An acre can accommodate between 600 and 800 graves."
