Foreword
The material contained in the National Cemetery Administration
Design Guide is a culmination of a partnering effort by the Department of
Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (NCA) and the Office of
Facilities Management (FM). The Goal of the Design Guide is to ensure
the quality of VA cemeteries while controlling construction and operating
costs.
This document is intended to be used as a guide and to replace to
current technical manuals and other VA criteria in the planning of national
cemeteries. The Design Guide is not to be used as a standard design,
and the use of this Design Guide does not limit the project Architects' and
Engineers' responsibilities to develop a complete and accurate project
design that best meets the user's needs and applicable code
requirements.
