Grave mixups continue at Arlington National Cemetery. Two people were buried in the wrong graves at Arlington National Cemetery, the Army said Wednesday, as it followed up an investigation into bookkeeping problems and burial mix-ups at one of the nation’s most hallowed sites.
After a report issued in June found that the problems could potentially affect thousands of graves, defense officials received about 1,100 calls from worried families.
One of those calls, from the widow of an Army staff sergeant, led to the exhumation of her husband’s casket late last month. The remains in it belonged to someone else, so officials opened a nearby grave and found the woman’s husband, said Gary Tallman, an Army spokesman.
“The families are satisfied that the problem was fixed,” Tallman said Wednesday.
Another grave was opened Wednesday in a different section of Arlington. At the request of his father, the grave and casket of Marine Pfc. Heath Warner of Canton, Ohio, were opened. The site was found to hold the remains of Warner, who was killed in Iraq in 2006, Tallman said. If you have a loved one buried at Arlington National Cemetery and are concerned about a grave mixup be sure to contact an experienced cemetery lawyer.
