Under VA burial benefits, the VA will provide what to the veteran's family, at no cost?

• A. Gravesite, headstone, or marker
• B. Funeral transportation
• C. Burial clothing
• D. A military honors ceremony

Answer: (A)

The no-cost benefit being tested is that the VA provides a gravesite in a national cemetery along with a government-furnished headstone or marker. Eligible veterans and their families receive the burial space at no charge, and the headstone or marker is provided by the government to commemorate the veteran’s service. This relieves families from the basic memorial costs and ensures a lasting, official marker of the veteran’s service. Other items like funeral transportation, burial clothing, or a military honors ceremony aren’t included as no-cost benefits through the VA burial program, though some of these may be arranged or funded separately in other ways.
