Active service members and veterans, who did not receive a dishonorable discharge, are entitled to free military funeral honors which can include placing an American flag, folding it for the next-of-kin, the playing of Taps, and a 21-gun salute.

Veterans, service members, spouses, and dependents may be eligible for burial in a VA national cemetery, as well as other benefits, if they meet one of the requirements listed below.

One of these must be true. The person qualifying for burial benefits is:

• A Veteran who didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge, or
• A service member who died while on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training, or
• The spouse or minor child of a Veteran, even if the Veteran died first, or
• In some cases, the unmarried adult dependent child of a Veteran

Our team of advisors is honored to help you navigate your veteran burial benefits. During the free consultation we will assist you with filling out all of the official government forms to receive your VA headstone, US flag and other eligible benefits.
