The National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona main entrance is just east of Cave Creek Rd on the south side of Pinnacle Peak Rd. 

Exit the 101 and head north on either Cave Creek Rd or Black Mountain Blvd and proceed to Pinnacle Peak Rd. The main entrance of the cemetery is located between these roads on the south side of Pinnacle Peak Rd

Navigation systems do an adequate job finding the cemetery. When you arrive, please follow the people and directions by the volunteers to the Assembly Area for the ceremony at 10:00am.

It's best to arrive early to allow for a short walk to enjoy the event!
