Honoring Veterans: Burial and Memorial Benefits

Honoring veterans with dignity and respect is a priority for many families. The National Cemetery Administration (NCA), part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, offers comprehensive programs to ensure veterans receive the recognition they deserve. From burial scheduling to digital tributes, these services provide meaningful ways to celebrate their military service.

The NCA oversees committal services for authorized veterans and their families. Scheduling a burial requires calling 800-535-1117 (option 1). Families can also use the Nationwide Gravesite Locator to find burial sites with daily updates. This system ensures accurate and timely information for loved ones.

Additionally, the VA provides government grave markers for private burials, a benefit available since 1997. Families can request headstones, flag presentations, and Presidential Memorial Certificates to honor their veteran’s legacy. These services are designed to reflect the sacrifices made during their military service.

Veterans Legacy Memorial and Tribute Options

The Veterans Legacy Memorial allows families to create digital tributes with photos and service history. This platform ensures that the stories of veterans are preserved and shared with future generations. Families can also access Montana’s state veteran cemeteries for burial options.

Eligibility for military honors and burial allowances is outlined by the VA. Local resources, including support programs for veteran families, are available to assist during this process. The NCA’s Nationwide Gravesite Locator system simplifies the process of requesting burial location information.
