Are you eligible for Veterans Administration death benefits?

 

To be eligible you must be a veteran discharged or separated from active duty under conditions other than dishonorable who has completed the required period of service, and U.S. Armed Forces members who die on active duty.  Spouses and dependent children of eligible living and deceased veterans, and of current and deceased armed forces members, may also be eligible.

 

Note:  The surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was terminated by death or divorce prior to or on that date is eligible for burial in a national cemetery.  A surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was intact on or after that date, however, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery.  A surviving spouse who remarries a non-veteran after October 31, 1990, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery.

 

 

 

Free Burial Grave in a National Cemetery 

 

The United States Government provides free burial in a National Cemetery to all those eligible.  This includes the gravesite, opening and closing of the grave, and perpetual care.  Many national cemeteries have columbaria niches for the inurnment of cremated remains or special sections for burial of cremated remains.
