Spouses

Surviving spouses of Veterans who died on or after Jan.1, 2000, do not lose eligibility for burial in a national cemetery if they remarry. Burial of dependent children is limited to unmarried children under 21 years of age, or under 23 years of age if a full-time student at an approved educational institution. Unmarried adult children who become physically or mentally disabled and incapable of self-support before age 21,or age 23 if a full-time student, also are eligible for burial.

  • “Thank you for giving us the opportunity to preplan our funeral arrangements.”

    I think in today’s time, this is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. It also relieves family members from the stress of having to decide what you wanted. You were so patient and kind explaining everything in detail. Again, thank you for your help. Sincerely, Carolyn

  • “We just purchased the proverbial peace of mind.”

    Dan and I would like to thank you for helping us make our pre-need decisions. Not doing it was weighing heavily on us, so I feel we just purchased the proverbial peace of mind. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Dan and Martha

  • “You answered all of our questions.”

    Want to thank you for your help in our selection of a burial plan with the National Cemetery. You answered all of our questions and eliminated our concerns about our burial plans at the National Cemetery. Thank you very much, Joe
