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. 

After the Civil War, search and recovery teams visited hundreds of battlefields, 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.

January 20 VA-NCA-IS- 

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 

2

VA-NCA-IS- January 20 

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. 

c. A United States flag is provided to drape the casket or accompany the urn of an eligible 

Veteran who was discharged from military service under conditions other than dishonorable. A 

burial flag may be provided by a funeral director or obtained at VA Regional Offices and most 

local post offices. After the service, the flag will be presented to the next of kin or close associate 

of the deceased. Flags may be donated to a national cemetery to be flown on appropriate days, 

if the cemetery has an Avenue of Flags program. VA also will issue a burial flag on behalf of a 

servicemember who was missing in action and later presumed dead by the military department. By 

law, only one flag is presented for the eligible Veteran. 

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. 

e. A person who dies on active duty is entitled to certain benefits from the military. Information 

about these benefits is available from the branch of the Armed Forces in which the person served. 

f. A Presidential Memorial Certificate may be requested to honor the memory of any deceased 

Veteran who was discharged under honorable conditions. The local VA Regional Office generally 

originates the first request for a Presidential Memorial Certificate. Request forms may also be 

accessed online at http://www.va.gov/vaforms/va/pdf/VA40-0247.pdf. Eligible recipients include next 

of kin, other relatives and friends. Requests should be accompanied by a copy of a document such 

as a military discharge certificate to establish honorable service. 

g. Additional information concerning reimbursement of burial expenses and other benefits by 

VA may be found in VA Pamphlet 80-0-01, “Federal Benefits for Veterans, Dependents and Survivors. 

“A copy of VA Pamphlet 80-0-01 can be obtained from most VA offices or the Superintendent of 

Documents, United States Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, or viewed on-line at 

http://www.va.gov/opa. 

4. ARRANGING AN INTERMENT IN A VA NATIONAL CEMETERY 

a. Interment arrangements for an eligible Veteran or dependent are made by the funeral 

director or the next of kin at the time of need by contacting the national cemetery scheduling office 

at -800-535- 7. A dependent is buried based upon the eligibility of the Veteran. To establish the 

3


Veteran’s eligibility, the name of the Veteran, together with the rank; serial, service, social security, 

and VA claim numbers, as applicable; date and place of entry into and separation from the service; 

branch of service; date and place of birth; and date of death should be furnished. If any of these 

items are not available, as much information as possible should be furnished. A copy of the official 

military discharge document bearing an official seal or a DD-214 is usually sufficient to determine 

eligibility for burial in a VA national cemetery. The document must show that release from service 

was under conditions other than dishonorable. For the majority of individuals, a DD-2 4 or other 

discharge document will be required to determine eligibility for burial; however, documentation such 

as a “20 year letter” covering release from reserve components or the National Guard may also 

qualify individuals for burial. If discharge information cannot be located, the VA Regional Office 

or national cemetery will also help to determine eligibility for burial. More specific information on 

eligibility is in Section III of this information sheet. (This information is solicited under chapter 24, 

title 38, United States Code, and is required to permit burial in a national cemetery. The information 

may be disclosed outside VA as permitted by law, or as stated in the Federal Register in accordance 

with the Privacy Act of 974. Failure to provide the required data may result in delay of burial until 

eligibility is verified.) 

b. The scheduling office will set a tentative date for the burial pending verification of service 

and character of discharge, and will notify the applicant when the burial is scheduled. Not until the 

director verifies eligibility and confirms the arrangements will the proposed date and time of the burial 

be announced. The decedent may be transported to the cemetery only on the announced date of the 

burial. 

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 

until the director verifies eligibility and confirms the arrangements. Also, where available, the remains 

of the deceased may be scattered in Cremation Gardens, designated garden-type areas for the 

scattering of cremated remains. 

d. To facilitate arranging an interment, a person contemplating burial in a national cemetery 

should assemble the information listed in paragraph (a.) above, prepare a statement of wishes, and 

place the information and statement among other important papers that will be immediately available 

to the person(s) making final arrangements for burial. 

e. Many national cemeteries have set aside memorial areas to commemorate Veterans 

whose remains were not recovered or identified, were buried at sea, or are otherwise unavailable for 

interment. 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 

4


to include the folding and the presentation of the United States burial flag and the playing of Taps. 

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. 

III. Eligibility 

1. PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR BURIAL IN A VA NATIONAL CEMETERY 

VA national cemetery directors have the primary responsibility for verifying eligibility for burial 

in VA national cemeteries. A determination of eligibility is usually made in response to a request for 

burial in a VA national cemetery. VA Regional Offices will also assist in determining eligibility for burial 

in a VA national cemetery. The toll-free number for the nearest VA Regional Office is 1-800-827-1000. 

a. Veterans and Members of the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, 

Coast Guard)

October 16, 1981, as an officer, must be for a minimum of 24 continuous months or the full period 

for which the person was called to active duty (as in the case of a Reservist called to active duty for 

a limited duration). Undesirable, bad conduct, and any other type of discharge other than honorable 

may or may not qualify the individual for Veterans benefits, depending upon a determination made by 

a VA Regional Office. Cases presenting multiple discharges of varying character are also referred for 

adjudication to a VA Regional Office.
