So they were going to bury him, but since the cemetery is closed they're going to cremate? Why can't they bury his ashes there when the cemetery reopens?

Exacty... When my Father passed i had him cremated as per his wishes, my mom died a few years earlier and still had her ashesso my Father wanted them both put into the same ern and i took him to Arlington National Cemetery, im not the crying type but that place got to me.

we had grandpa cremated and his ashes were in the closet at grandma's house 'till the cemetery had the new vet memorial wall up and running. think it took a year. grandma was cremated and buried there 3 months later.
there were other cemeteries around but grandpa always said that's where he wanted to be, so that was it.
btw grandpa was a pilot in the pacific. which he always laughed about it because he always said he was only 5 feet tall. well he was a bit taller but he was a jokester.

It's not going to be closed forever.
So, he hangs out in the crypt for awhile until the cemetary opens again.
I don't understand the panic unless there's more to the story than this.

No panic. He just needed enough drama to justify a post in a game about something that happened to someone else.

The cemetary will be open long before a B-17 flight could be arranged.

Thought the same thing.

Btw, your wish could be easily fulfilled here in Michigan. It should also be a stark reminder that those you have berated via PM in game, can still be willing to help you.

Military cemetaries close?
