Cheltenham State Veterans Cemetery is on U.S. Route 301, approximately 8 miles south of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The site consisted of 112 acres and was formerly used for agricultural purposes. The Cheltenham Veterans Cemetery conducts over 1,000 burials annually and is the final resting place for over 30,000 Maryland veterans and their eligible dependents. The cemetery opened for burial in July 1978 and is expected to provide over 50,000 burial sites. The committal shelter at the cemetery was dedicated to the memory of Senator Edward T. Conroy, who was instrumental in the passage of legislation enabling the development of Maryland’s State Veterans Cemeteries.
