At the Nov. 18, 2004 public meeting of the Veterans Land Board, a name was chosen for the future place of honor: Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery. Construction on Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery began in September 2005 and was completed in early 2007 with an ultimate capacity for as many as 25,000 interments.
The cemetery was built in phases with phase I covering approximately 31 acres and including 2,430 standard casketed burial sites, 2,000 double-depth lawn crypts, 1,300 in-ground sites for cremated remains, and 500 columbarium niches. This is expected to provide enough gravesites for approximately 10 years, after which the cemetery will be expanded to add additional gravesites.
