Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery - A list of people being buried on that day MY WIFE Linda Cramer

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

(18 reviews)

One of the oldest national cemeteries is just south of St. Louis near Lemay and Interstate 255…read moreheading into Illinois. Like all national cemeteries I have visited, JB is very peaceful and one of the greatest tributes to those who have served and died for our freedoms and country. What's very fascinating is the history of it, which I'll share a few random facts: -One of the most famous interments is Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck. Despite of the rules, national cemeteries do not allow people to lay items on graves. But people do it anyway on Jacks. -Eight Medal of Honor recipients are buried here. -Two Rock & Roll Hall of Famers are buried here: Dennis Edwards (who replaced David Ruffin) of the Temptations, and Johnnie Johnson, who is best known for his work with Chuck Berry -There are plenty of monuments and memorials here, all spread out through the cemetery. One is the Minnesota Memorial, which can also be seen in six other National Cemeteries. -The remains of the creator of the "Lassie" franchise are also buried here. Sure I'll do one more.... -Explorer/adventurer Zebulon Pike's infant child is buried in the old town part of the cemetery. I believe the name was unknown as well as the gender of the child (some sources say male, some say female). The child died at present-day Fort Bellefontaine Park back when it was a military site. Be sure to visit the Administration building at the entrance for any questions. There are computers where you can look up names, or get maps. Workers in the building will gladly assist you. You can also download the app on your phone to locate a grave. I hope I gave you plenty of reasons to visit this legendary place. Maybe you have a family member/friend/loved one buried here. Or just want to thank all of those who gave all, or gave some. You'll be glad you did.

The burial ceremony for my veteran husband was wonderful. We had his cremains buried here with full…read moremilitary honors. It was handled with precision and well organized by the staff. His headstone was placed earlier than expected and it is engraved with a personal message I was able to create. The grounds are expertly groomed year round and it is a beautiful place to visit. This benefit to our veterans and spouses is very special and I am grateful that my husband served so that we could be placed in such beautiful surroundings. The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk everyday despite their posted main office hours.
