Local
Submariner Burial Site
IVY GREEN CEMETERY
In
1995 the City of Bremerton passed a resolution dedicating 40 burial
sites at Ivy Green Cemetery specifically for burial of those
veterans who have served in submarines of the United States Navy.
Subsequently, in 2002, USSVI-Bremerton Base placed a stone monument
there
 commemorating those submarine veterans. Ivy Green Cemetery is
located at 1401 Naval Avenue, at the opposite end of Naval Avenue
from Naval Station Kitsap-Bremerton, generally known as PSNS.
Submarine qualified veterans (DD-214 required) and their spouses are
eligible for this honor. A full burial (side by side) for a
submarine veteran and his spouse would require two sites, purchased
at the same time. A single site would be adequate for inurnment of
cremated remains of a veteran and spouse.
Charges related to purchase of sites or burial services including
cremations are based upon mailing addresses of individual parties.
Non-Bremerton residents and those with P.O. Boxes will pay a 20%
increase on all charges.
For example, a grave site purchased in 2008, would cost a Bremerton
resident $917.00 and a non-resident $1100.00. This initial plot cost
does not include additional burial costs such as
opening/closing the grave, liners, markers, etc. Services and costs
are reviewed annually by the Bremerton City Council and adjusted as
appropriate.
The City of Bremerton does not accept partial or time payments.
Site purchases must be paid in full (and at one time) prior to
preparing site deed and the purchaser is responsible for filing
their deed with the Kitsap County Auditor.
Thirty-nine Subvet burial sites are currently available and may be
purchased anytime. For additional information contact the Bremerton
Parks Specialist, Don Hock at 473-5355.
