In September of 2001 I contacted the cemetery office by phone with the names I was interested in. They were very polite and helpful and faxed to me a map similar to this one with the grave sites marked on it.

The Section and Grave Number are engraved on the back of the stones.

Beverly National Cemetery, Beverly, New Jersey

The Beverly National Cemetery is a military cemetery located in Burlington County, New Jersey. Non-military spouses can often be found buried next to their military spouse. If you write to the cemetery office they will send you a map with the area(s) marked for the person(s) you are looking for.

As you can see from the photos, it is a beautiful cemetery with an Avenue of Flags Honoring Deceased Veterans and a lovely sitting area with 2 benches.

The Section and Grave numbers are on the back of the stones, which makes it fairly easy to locate the one you are looking for.
