Introduction
Congressional Cemetery preserves and promotes the historical and active burial ground. The cemetery is one of the oldest institutions in Washington and the final resting place of many who were integral in forming our nation. It is a National Historic Landmark that dates back 200 years in American history. They are also the only D.C. cemetery that offers green burial options. Veterans from each war are represented and buried in the cemetery. In addition, the staff puts on events throughout the year to engage the community in outdoor recreation. This is unique for a graveyard, but they take pride in staying involved in the community.
Congressional Cemetery is a burial site for humans but also a burial site for pets. You can find options for ground burials, columbaria, and niches for cremation burials. In addition, you can reserve cemetery lots or family burial plots ahead of time as part of your pre-planning cemetery services. Choose your burial plots based on highly desired areas of the cemetery so you can be sure they are available. Also, you can pre-plan a graveside service so that you can have input in your own death care, even if you may not need to use the plans for years to come.
You may choose monuments and memorials for the permanent memorialization of your loved one. Select from a wide variety of memorial sizes, styles, and colors for the whole cemetery to see. Or keep it simple with a portrait on the grave marker. You may also use the historical cemetery for private event rentals.
