Alabama National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Montevallo, United States.
The Alabama National Cemetery extends across 479 acres of land, providing burial spaces for veterans and their eligible family members south of Birmingham.
The Department of Veterans Affairs established this cemetery in 2009 following the National Cemetery Expansion Act of 2003, which addressed the need for veteran burial sites.
The land holds significance as former Muskogee tribal territory, marking a transition from Native American settlements to its current role as a national memorial ground.
The cemetery administration office operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, while the grounds remain accessible to visitors from sunrise to sunset.
The initial construction phase created space for 1,000 casket burials and 1,000 in-ground cremations, with subsequent expansions adding thousands of additional sites.
