Veteran Memorial Benefits

It's not something we like to think about, but it's a benefit you earned.

The VA provides headstones and markers for the graves of veterans anywhere in the world.

If you think living is expensive, try dying.

Since 1864, Arlington National Cemetery has served as the nation's military cemetery honoring those who served.

VA provides an American flag for services, and a flag to be given to the next of kin or a close associate of the deceased.

Smaller, more subdued ceremonies are planned nationwide.

Active duty members, Selected Reserve, and honorably discharged veterans qualify for military honors at their funeral.

As a retired servicemember it's important to know about your mortuary and burial benefits.

Military Funeral Honors are available for an eligible veteran, free of charge, if requested by the family.

Burial preparation is a sensitive subject, but you should be aware of your burial benefits before you need them.
