- Do I have to use a funeral home in Corpus Christi?
- No. In Texas you can compare and choose any licensed provider, and you only pay for the goods and services you select. You're never required to buy a package.
- What's included in the price?

- Are veterans buried for free?
- Burial in a VA national cemetery is free for eligible veterans: it covers the grave, opening and closing, a marker, and a burial flag. The funeral home's services and a casket are not covered, though a partial burial allowance may help.
- Does the VA pay for the whole funeral?
- No. The VA may pay a burial allowance toward funeral and burial costs, and more if the death was service-connected, but it rarely covers the full bill. The national cemetery benefits are separate and cover the gravesite itself.
- Can a spouse be buried in a national cemetery too?
- Yes. An eligible veteran's spouse and dependent children can usually be buried in the same national cemetery gravesite, even before the veteran, at no cost for the space.
