Burial is available at all VA national
cemeteries to any deceased veteran of wartime or
peacetime service
who was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Members
of
the Reserves and the Army and Air National Guard who die while performing
or as a result of
performing active duty for training may also be eligible.
Burial is also available to an eligible
VETERAN’S SPOUSE,
minor child(ren) and, under certain conditions, to unmarried adult
children.
Gravesites in VA national cemeteries cannot be
reserved in advance thru the VA, however each day more
and more veterans
are taking advantage of The Veteran Program BURIAL
REGISTATION PROGRAM. Taking advantage of this opportunity
ensures that burial takes place in the closest VA National
Cemetery and that final arrangement decisions are honored and
respected. The VA prepares the gravesite, carries out the
burial, furnishes a headstone or marker, and a flag and provides
perpetual care.
