The U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs does an excellent job providing veterans burial benefits if you use a VA National Cemetery for traditional burial or inurnment of cremated remains. However, the VA DOES NOT PROVIDE OR PAY FOR funeral or cremation arrangements or military honors.
*Cremated remains are buried or inurned in national cemeteries in the same manner and with the same honors as casketed remains.
Benefits available for spouses and dependents buried in a national cemetery include burial with the Veteran, perpetual care, and the spouse or dependents name and date of birth and death will be inscribed on the headstone, at no cost to the family.
