DOES THE VA PAY FOR A VETERANS FUNERAL SERVICE?
Generally speaking, no. There are some VA benefits available to qualified veterans, but they will by no means pay for everything. There is a small plot allowance, and a US flag is provided for services. If the veteran died in a VA facility, there are more benefits. Burial in a National Cemetery is always an option for a qualified veteran. The grave, burial, marker, and grave liner are all provided at no charge. Veterans who die as a result of active duty are eligible for more benefits, and their families will receive benefits as well. More information can be obtained at our website, or at www.va.gov.
