My husband is a veteran. What is he entitled to at the time of his death?
When requested by the family, the basic Military Funeral Honors ceremony is conducted for the deceased veteran. It includes the playing of the Taps and the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veteran’s family. Also, veteran’s who qualify are entitled to a grave marker supplied by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. To establish veteran eligibility, the family needs to provide the DD Form 214 to us. This form is the certificate of release or discharge from active duty. If a family does not have this form, we can help to acquire it for them.
