Question 5

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.

Question 6

Does the VA pay for the whole funeral?

Accepted Answer

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.
