American soldiers killed in the Pacific during World War II were primarily buried in military cemeteries located in the areas where they fell, such as the Philippines and on various islands throughout the Pacific theater. Many were interred at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines, which is the largest American cemetery in the Pacific. Others were buried at temporary cemeteries near battle sites before being moved to permanent locations after the war. Families also had the option to have their loved ones' remains returned to the United States for burial.
