VA burial benefits can help service members, Veterans, and their family members plan and pay for a burial or memorial service in a VA national cemetery.

This is called a pre-need determination of eligibility—and it can help make the burial planning process easier for your family members in their time of need.

 If you’re applying for an unmarried adult child of a Veteran or service member, you’ll also need to provide supporting documents with information about the child’s disability.
