Veterans Administration burial allowance benefits are available to eligible veterans. The Roanoke VA Regional Office pointed out that the government allows up to $250 toward burial expenses and an additional $150 plot or interment allowance, if burial is not in a national cemetery or other government cemetery. These VA payments will be reduced or eliminated in cases where the veteran’s employer or a state agency has made such payments, VA said. In cases where a veteran’s death is service connected, VA will pay an amount not to exceed $800 in lieu of the usual burial allowances.
With the exception of Arlington National Cemetery, burial is available to eligible veterans at all national cemeteries having space, and may also be authorized for an eligible veteran’s wife or husband, minor children, and under certain circumstances, unmarried adult children.
