Did you know that many veterans are eligible for burial benefits? The VA provides several benefits to help families honor a veteran’s service while easing some funeral and burial costs.

Depending on eligibility, the VA may provide burial in a national cemetery, including the gravesite, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate. Some spouses and dependent children may also be eligible for burial in a national cemetery. For veterans buried in a private cemetery, the VA may provide a government headstone, marker, or medallion, as well as a burial flag and memorial certificate.

Families may also qualify for burial allowances to help cover funeral, burial, or transportation expenses, especially if the veteran died from a service-connected condition, was receiving VA benefits, or passed away in a VA facility.

Because eligibility and benefit amounts vary, families should gather the veteran’s discharge papers, such as the DD214. As you look to apply for these benefits, we’re happy to help! Just give us a call, and we can set up a meeting to discuss your options.
