A veteran burial allowance, sometimes referred to as a veteran death benefit, may be available to help offset funeral, burial, or transportation expenses. In most cases, families pay for services upfront and then apply for reimbursement if eligible. The amount of the allowance varies based on factors such as the veteran’s date of death and whether the death was service-related. Additional benefits may include a government-provided headstone or marker, burial flag, and military honors. Our funeral professionals are here to help families understand available benefits and guide them through the application process.
