There are many misconceptions about the assistance and benefits related to them when it comes to final arrangements. Whether you are life partner of the veteran or any family member, understanding the last arrangement process is important.

The veterans of United States are entitled to have their remains interred or buried in any National Cemetery at no charge. The Veterans Administration functions in around 125 cemeteries. Out of which 65 are open for new casketed interments and 21 are for accepting the remains only.

The options for burial are restricted to a particular cemetery but can also include interment of cremated remains or an in-ground casket or a scatter garden. These programs and benefits are run by the government and therefore, they may alter at any time.
