Description

An Alternative to Burial
In 1987, the Academy constructed a columbarium adjacent to the cemetery on College Creek. The columbarium offers resting places for those who wish to be inurned at the Naval Academy. Niches are assigned in consecutive order and cannot be reserved.

At the columbarium stands a memorial donated by the
Class of 1937. It reads:
Here we remember our shipmates whose resting places are known only to God ...Their bodies have been left in the seas or in remote places but their spirit lives with us always
.
Eligibility for Burial or Inurnment
There are a number of specific eligibility requirements for burial in the cemetery and inurnment in the columbarium. For burial in the cemetery, Naval Academy graduates must attain flag rank while on active duty. All Naval Academy graduates are eligible for inurnment in the columbarium.
