Does Veterans Administration pay for veterans funerals?
Although the Veterans Administration does not pay for complete funerals, it does provide certain merchandise, services and reimbursements. Your local VA office can provide you with a variety of benefits available. In general, any veteran with a discharge other than dishonorable is entitled to be buried in an accepting national cemetery. He or she may also receive a free grave space, with a bronze, granite, or marble memorial marked with veteran’s rank, war served and religious icon. Other specific circumstances, better explained by your VA benefits counselor, may have additional burial-related benefits.
