Directions to Cemetery

The National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona main entrance is just east of Cave Creek Rd on the south side of Pinnacle Peak Rd. 

Exit the 101 and head north on either Cave Creek Rd or Black Mountain Blvd and proceed to Pinnacle Peak Rd. The main entrance of the cemetery is located between these roads on the south side of Pinnacle Peak Rd

Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the cemetery. When you arrive, please follow the people and directions by the volunteers to the Assembly Area for the ceremony at 10:00am.

It's best to arrive early to allow for a short walk to enjoy the event!

Parking Instructions

Parking inside the cemetery will be VERY LIMITED in 2023 and moving forward for WAA Day.

There is plenty of parking along Pinnacle Peak Rd just outside the main entrance. All parking is a very short walk to the ceremony area.

Family Member Only and a Handicapped Only sections have been allocated inside the cemetery. Volunteers will direct traffic accordingly. 

This change is for the safety and enjoyment of every volunteer and family member attending the ceremony.
