BURIAL BENEFITS
Burial benefits available for Veterans buried in a private cemetery, may include a Government headstone, and a burial flag issued at no cost to the family.
Note: There is no charge for the headstone or marker itself, however arrangements for placing it in a private cemetery are the applicant's responsibility and all setting fees shall be paid for by the applicant.
There are not any VA burial benefits available to spouses and dependents buried in a private cemetery (this benefit is extended to spouses and dependents ONLY at national cemeteries).
