Nationwide Graveside Locator Service (USA) Now Available For Mobile Devices

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced today that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made the gravesites of more than 6.7 million Veterans easier to locate using handheld devices with Internet capability, such as "smart phones."

"This innovative program continues VA's commitment to use the latest technology to provide Veterans and their families with information they need," said Secretary Shinseki. "It will simplify and enhance the experience of many who visit our national cemeteries."

The original gravesite locator -- http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov -- online since April 2004, continues to help Veterans' families and others find the cemeteries where relatives, ancestors or friends are buried. The new Web site - http://m.va.gov/gravelocator -- is enhanced for viewing and browsing on "smart phone" devices.
