1) There is a database. You can search it at the visitors center.
2) They have been ‘stacking’ for a long time. It is usually a spouse or child.
What is this “paper” they speak of?

I kinda agree. I went to my first funeral at Arlington six weeks ago, and I think the place is run in a fairly competent manner. When mistakes occurred...I think the guys at the top were just not the type to take them on and find root causes...they automatically went into defense mode.
I would hope they can find replacements for the number one and number two...but frankly...where do you find people for this kind of job? Toss in the daily funerals that occur, and there is no brief period of getting into the job...you are moving at 60mph on day one, and it never gets any better.
They can't even take care of dead people, but they want to manage healthcare for live people.
What's wrong with this picture?
Yeah...there is a LOT going on there, a lot of detail. A million and one details.
I agree, that has to be a bear to run that place.
