More than four million people visit Arlington National Cemetery annually while 27 to 30 burials are performed six days weekly.

Those are just some of the tidbits revealed during C-Span’s “Washington Journal” on Nov. 9 at Arlington National Cemetery with Kathryn Condon, executive director of Army National Cemeteries Program, and ANC superintendent Patrick Hallinan. The two answered public questions for one hour. You can view it online.

Condon said ANC has room for inurnments through 2024 and in-ground burials through 2025. But, Condon said two parcels will be added that extend burials “beyond 2050.”

As to finding specific plots, Condon said a smart phone application will provide location and directions within coming months. Condon said 143 civilians and 200 contractors work at the cemetery.

Hallinan said a June 2011 study states there were 259,978 grave sites and more than 300,000 buried or inurned overall. Those requiring full military honors at internment now wait 74 days.

Hallinan said the headstones, which are produced in the U.S., are cleaned annually, but ones under trees that incur mold are treated more frequently. There are 17 sections with large private markers that were once allowed.

As for the Tourmobile that recently ceased operation, Condon said a new contract is pending with the company to resume.
