The reason I'm asking is that I wanted to plan my burial. I feel like a burden and I would like to take care of everything before I have to go. Do you think I could be buried in a national cemetery for veterans?
Of course. You can apply to find out in advance if you can be buried 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.
Alright. And who is eligible for such a burial?
A Veteran who didn't receive a dishonorable discharge when you separated from the military, or the spouse or dependent child of a service member or Veteran, even if the service member or Veteran has already passed away.
