Burial Benefits
We offer certain benefits and services to honor our Nation's deceased veterans.
- Headstones and Markers - We can furnish a monument to mark the grave of an eligible veteran.
- Burial Flag - We can provide an American flag to drape an eligible veteran's casket.
- Reimbursement of Burial Expenses - Generally we can pay a burial allowance of $1,500 for veterans who die of service-related causes. For certain other veterans, we can pay $300 for burial and funeral expenses and $150 for a plot.
- Burial in a VA National Cemetery - Most veterans and some dependents can be buried in a VA national cemetery.
Time Limits There is no time limit for claiming reimbursement of burial expenses for a service-related death. In other cases, claims must be filed within 2 years of the veteran's burial.
