Nestled in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery (NWVMC) in Spooner, WI, serves as a peaceful final resting place for eligible veterans, spouses, and dependents. Surrounded by forest, the cemetery sits on land donated by Washburn County and additional parcels acquired by the state.
