Florida National Cemetery - Wikipedia


I was wondering if people have experience with getting a loved one's remains into Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell? My late father passed in late 2020 and was in a M.A.S.H. unit after the Korean War ceasefire and received an honorable discharge as a Wolfhound.


How long does the process take, how far from the Villages is this (say from Sumter Landing) and what kind of experiences have you had there?

A neighbor was buried there. The funeral director made the arrangements.

It is a lovely facility and well run. It is large. There are in-ground burials and also niches for cremains. There are covered locations scattered throughout the cemetery where you can hold services.

I think it took about 45 minutes to get there.

I'm sure they would be happy to answer your questions if you phone them.

We interred my parents remains at the location in Amelia, VA and it was a very well coordinated process. It’s really great to offer this to our vets and their spouses.

We’re hoping to have the same experience with my recently deceased in-laws at Bushnell. Just waiting for my wife to be ready to part with the urns.
