At a3Genealogy we
work closely with veterans and their families. But there are times when
specialists can ease the process.
- U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits do not cover all the funeral
or cremation arrangements of honorably discharged veterans.
- You will
need documentation to verify military service.
- A veteran’s
family must request a United States flag.
- Military
Funeral Honors ceremonies must be scheduled in advance.
- Veterans’
caskets are not free.
- A
“Presidential Memorial Certificate” must be requested.
- If you
choose not to be buried in a VA national cemetery, monetary burial
benefits are limited.
- There are
eligibility requirements for burial in a VA national cemetery.
- Headstones
or markers for a burial space in a private cemetery must be requested.
- The
issuance or replacement of military service medals, awards and decorations
must be requested in writing.
