At the time of need, the person organizing your burial should call the National Cemetery Programming Office at 800 - 535 - 1117 to request a burial. They will need your pre-need eligibility determination letter at that time.
What if I change my mind and don't want to be buried in a VA National Cemetery?
Your family members can make arrangements for your burial in a private cemetery, even if we have already sent you a decision letter prior to need. There is no need to contact VA about this change of plans.
