Burial benefits provide for an allowance that may be authorized for the reimbursement of the funeral and burial expenses of an eligible veteran and limited benefits for a spouse. The following allowances fall under this category: burial or cremation allowance, plot or internment allowance, transportation of remains, burial in a national or state cemetery, memorial plots, headstones & markers, United States Flag, Presidential Memorial Certificates.
