Veteran Funeral Services

What type of benefits does a U.S. Veteran with proof of an honorable discharge or general discharge receive when he or she dies?
A U.S. flag that is usually presented to the next of kin. A military grave marker. (choice of: white marble, gray granite, or bronze) If a veteran is receiving monthly benefits from the military due to some type of service-related injury, then the veteran's family may be entitled to some type of monetary benefit. When requested, a 2-man detail from the veteran's branch of service may be available to fold the flag as well as play "Taps." (21-gun salutes are only provided as determined by the military. Often local V.F.W. posts will offer 21-gun salutes.)
	When death occurs in a V.A. (Veterans Affairs) Hospital, the family will be reimbursed by the government for the funeral home's removal charges as well as the hearse charge going to the cemetery. Burial in the National Cemetery at no charge. (In order to be buried with their spouse, the spouse of the veteran would have to pay an opening and closing fee to the cemetery.) Military personnel who die in the line-of-duty would receive all the benefits listed above, plus other monetary benefits as determined by the government.
