{| |- | In most cases, the bodies were buried on the battlefield. Some of the soldiers, particularly officers would be sent home for burial. It was more likely to happen if the battle took place near a railroad line that was controlled by their side. Many of the National Cemeteries in use today originated near Civil War Battle Fields, or near places that served as hospitals.
