Arlington Media was honored to capture the FIRST service in Arlington National Cemetery’s Section 78. Section 78 is part of Arlington’s new Millennium Section that was opened in 2018. As the cemetery expands, new sections are unveiled and being on the forefront of capturing these moments for families to leave a legacy is something that is a priority for our team. The Millennium project was conceived in the 1990s to help extend the life of the cemetery as an active burial ground. It consists of 27 acres, parts of which were transferred from the National Park Service from existing cemetery land and from Fort Myer. The construction contract was awarded Sept. 24, 2013, and during the last five years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and many contractors worked diligently to complete this critical project. Millennium provides 27,282 new interment spaces that are located either above or below ground. Columbarium courts will offer 16,400 above-ground niche spaces for cremated remains, while the 10,882 in-ground burials will be split between traditional and over-sized burials (1,422), in-ground cremated remains (3,189), and pre-placed concrete grave-liners (6,271). If your loved one is being buried in Arlington National Cemetery, do not hesitate to contact us regarding photo or video coverage, as well as other local recommendations to help make this difficult time a little bit easier. We are truly humbled to help. Contact us at 1 (800) 852-7015 with questions.
