In-ground burials have begun in the Central Coast Veteran’s Cemetery on the former Fort Ord. The 79-acre California Department of Veterans Affairs-operated cemetery is located at 2900 Parker Flats Road in Seaside on land that was once part of the Fort Ord Army base, which was closed in 1994. This second phase of the Veteran’s Cemetery was funded with 6.8 million dollars of Federal funding, 1.5 million dollars of State funds, and 839-thousand dollars of local donations.
Although Fort Ord was an Army base, space in this cemetery is available to members of all branches of the military….and their spouses.
