If the person was married , you ll also need the surviving spouse s status as Veteran , service member , or family member
Alright. I'd like to ask you another question. What if I want to be laid to rest in a state cemetery?
In that case you need to contact that specific cemetery ahead of time to find out about their pre-need program. Some state Veterans cemeteries require that you live in that state or have other rules around eligibility. You can apply for a pre-need determination of eligibility from VA and also from a state or tribal Veterans cemetery.
That's great to know. And how do you decide if you accept me or not?
