INTERMENTS IN DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (VA)NATIONAL CEMETERIES

I. VA National Cemetery Administration

In �862, President Lincoln signed into law legislation authorizing the establishment of national cemeteries “. . . for the soldiers who shall die in the service of the country.” Fourteen cemeteries were established that year. These national cemeteries were the beginning of today’s National Cemetery Administration.

AftertheCivilWar,searchandrecoveryteamsvisitedhundredsofbattlefields,churchyards,plantations and other locations seeking wartime interments that were made in haste. By �870, the remains of nearly 300,000 Civil War dead were reinterred in 73 national cemeteries.

The National Cemetery Administration has undergone many changes since its inception. In �873, Congress extended the right of burial in a national cemetery to all honorably discharged Union Veterans of the Civil War. By a �933 Executive Order, certain national cemeteries were transferred from the War Department (now the Department of the Army) to the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. In June �973, Public Law 93-43 authorized the transfer of 82 national cemeteries from the Department of the Army to the Veterans Administration, now the Department of Veterans Affairs. This action combined the 82 Army cemeteries with 2� cemeteries already under VA’s jurisdiction. With the addition of 29 new cemeteries since �973, and the transfer of one historic site and cemetery to the State of Kentucky, the National Cemetery Administration now comprises �3� national cemeteries. The Department of the Army still administers two national cemeteries -- Arlington and the U.S. Armed Forces Retirement Home, both in the Washington, DC area -- and the Department of Interior administers �4, for an overall total of �4� national cemeteries.

In �978, Congress established the State Cemetery Grants Program (Public Law 95-476). Administered by the National Cemetery Administration to aid States and U.S. territories in the establishment, expansion and improvement of Veterans cemeteries, the State Cemetery Grants Program complements the National Cemetery Administration by providing gravesites for Veterans in those areas not adequately served by national cemeteries. State veterans cemeteries enhance VA’s ability to meet the burial needs of America’s Veterans.

II. General Information

1. INTERMENT IN NATIONAL AND STATE CEMETERIES

a. Burial in a national cemetery is based on military service. Requests for interment in national cemeteries should be directed to staff at the cemetery where burial is sought. A list of VA national cemeteries is provided in Section V.2 of this information sheet or on-line at http://www.cem.va.gov. The cemetery director determines eligibility for burial, usually at the time of need. Most categories of persons entitled to burial in VA national cemeteries are summarized in Section III of this information sheet.

b. Arlington National Cemetery is under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army. Inquiries concerning eligibility for interment there should be directed to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. See Section V.5 of this information sheet for the address and phone number or on-line at http://www.arlingtoncemetery.org.

c. The two active national cemeteries administered by the Department of the Interior -- Andersonville National Cemetery in Georgia and Andrew Johnson National Cemetery in Tennessee -- use the same eligibility criteria as the National Cemetery Administration. Addresses and telephone numbers for cemeteries administered by the Department of the Interior are provided in Section V.3 of this information sheet.

d. Eligibility criteria for burial in State veterans cemeteries are the same or similar to criteria for burial in VA national cemeteries, but some States have residency requirements and other more restrictive requirements. State cemeteries should be contacted directly for information. State veterans cemeteries are listed in Section V.4 of this information sheet or on-line at http://www.cem.va.gov.

2. ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE

a. The National Cemetery Administration is authorized to bury eligible individuals in any VA national cemetery with available grave space. See Section V.2 of this information sheet for a list of VA national cemeteries.

b. One gravesite or columbarium niche is authorized for the interment of all eligible members of a family except where soil conditions require more than one grave, or when the number of eligible family decedents requires more than one grave, or niche.

c. A gravesite is not reserved before it is needed for a burial. VA honors reservations made through �962, when cemeteries were under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army and reservations were allowed. When a death occurs and eligibility for interment in a national cemetery is determined, grave space is assigned by the cemetery director in the name of the Veteran.

d. Many VA national cemeteries that have exhausted space for full-casket burials can still inter cremated remains. Occasionally, full-casket gravesites become available in these cemeteries due to disinterments or when gravesite reservations made through �962 are canceled. Contact the cemetery director for information regarding the availability of grave space. 3. ENTITLEMENT TO BURIAL BENEFITS

a. There is no charge for burial in a national cemetery. Opening and closing of the grave, a headstone or marker with authorized inscription(s), and perpetual maintenance will be provided by the Government. Flat bronze, granite or marble grave markers and upright marble or granite headstones are available to mark graves in the style consistent with existing monuments at the national cemetery. Marble, granite, or bronze niche covers are used on columbarium.

b. At no expense to the next of kin, VA furnishes graveliners for new graves in national cemeteries with space available. The next of kin may choose to purchase and use a private outer

3

burial receptacle rather than use the government furnished graveliner and receive a monetary allowance equal to the average cost to the Government of a graveliner, less administrative costs. This monetary allowance will partially defray the cost of a privately purchased outer burial receptacle. Outer burial receptacles may be purchased at private expense for family members of an individual previously buried, if advance approval of the cemetery director is obtained.

d. VA may not reimburse any costs associated with the burial, including transportation of the remains, of a decedent other than a Veteran. VA will pay a monetary burial and funeral expense allowance for Veterans who, at the time of death, were entitled to receive pension or compensation or would have been entitled to compensation but for receipt of military retirement pay. Eligibility for the allowance also may be established when death occurs in a VA hospital, nursing home, or domiciliary, or a hospital or nursing home with which VA contracted, and additional costs of transportation of the remains may be reimbursed in those cases. In these cases, VA will also pay the cost of transporting the remains of a service-disabled Veteran to the national cemetery with available grave space nearest his or her home. The person who bore the Veteran’s burial expenses may claim reimbursement up to prescribed limits.

c. For persons choosing cremation there are multiple options. Cremated remains may be interred in an in-ground gravesite, placed in a garden niche, or placed in a columbarium, where available. The container holding the cremated remains may not be delivered to the national cemetery untilthedirectorverifieseligibilityandconfirmsthearrangements.Also,whereavailable,theremainsof the deceased may be scattered in Cremation Gardens, designated garden-type areas for the scattering of cremated remains.

e. Many national cemeteries have set aside memorial areas to commemorate Veterans whoseremainswerenotrecoveredoridentified,wereburiedatsea,orareotherwiseunavailableforinterment. VA will also provide a memorial headstone or marker to be placed in that section of the cemetery.

5. MILITARY HONORS

Military honors are not provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Defense (DOD), through the “Honoring Those Who Served” program, is responsible for providing military funeral services. DOD, upon the family’s request or at the behest of the respective funeral home on behalf of the Veteran’s family, gives each eligible Veteran a military funeral honors ceremony

toincludethefoldingandthepresentationoftheUnitedStatesburialflagandtheplayingofTaps.Moreover, the ceremony consists of two or more uniformed military persons with at least one member from the Veteran’s parent service of the Armed Forces. These honors are available at burials in private, State veterans and national cemeteries.
