Caring for Veterans

A summary of the current laws governing the funeral and burial benefits due this nation's veterans

Throughout the course of history, the members of the armed services have shown an unwavering commitment to democracy and a desire to defend the freedoms that are essential to the United States. In doing so, many have lost their lives in battle. It is important that we remember to show them the honor and respect that they deserve. Caring for Veterans, written by NFDA's Legislative Assistant Allison Salyer, offers a summary of the current laws governing the funeral and burial benefits due to U.S. veterans. It includes information on military funeral honors, Veterans Affairs grave markers, and funeral and burial expenses.
