The purpose of this research was to evaluate the satisfaction rate of the sacrificers from the way of organizing the martyrs' cemetery. Instrument & Methods: In this descriptive study, in 2013, 372 people from sacrificers in Golestan province (Gorgan, Bandar-e Turkaman and Aliabad Katoul) were selected by stratified random sampling and entered the study. The research instrument was a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire to assess the satisfaction of the sacrificers from the manner of organizing the martyrs' cemetery. Data were analyzed by one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman test, independent t test and one-way ANOVA. Findings: Considering the difference in average calculated from the hypothetical mean, the sacrificers were satisfied with the architecture, materials, physical arrangement and the degree of respecting the martyrs (p<0.05), but they were not satisfied with the facilities (p>0.05). The sacrificers were also negatively affected by re-organizing the martyrs' cemetery (p=0.0001). The level of education with the three variables: the physical satisfaction, the effectiveness in respecting the martyrs and the type of feeling toward re-organizing the martyrs' cemetery had reversed relationship. Birthplace and type of religion also made a significant difference in the evaluation of triple variables of satisfaction (p<0.05).
