Important Information for scheduling services for cremated remains

Arlington National Cemetery requires certification of 100% of cremated remains and a cremated remains certificate. We support the industry best practices of including the cremation identification number, which is included with the remains and annotated on the cremation certificate. Arlington does not accept cremated remains by mail.

Urns should be no larger than 9x9x9 inches (does not include companion urns); if the urn purchased by the family exceeds this size, please inform ANC staff prior to the interment date.

Saturday services are available for placements and services for cremated remains that do not require military honors or military chaplain support.

Burial and Plot-Interment Allowances

What Are VA Burial Allowances?

VA burial allowances are partial reimbursements of an eligible veteran’s burial and funeral costs.  When the cause of death is not service-related, the
reimbursements are generally described as two payments:  (1) a burial and funeral expense allowance, and (2) a plot interment allowance.

 

Who Is Eligible ?

 

You may be eligible for a VA burial allowance if:

1) you paid for a veteran’s burial or funeral  AND

2) you have not been reimbursed by another government agency or some other source, such as the deceased veteran’s employer 
and

3) the veteran was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.

 In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met:

1) the veteran died because of a service-related disability 
or

2) the veteran was receiving VA pension or compensation at the time of death 
or

3) the veteran was entitled to receive VA pension or compensation, but decided not to reduce his/her military retirement or disability pay 
or

4) the veteran died in a VA hospital, in a nursing home under VA contract, or while in an approved state nursing home.

 How Much Does VA Pay?

Service-Related Death.
VA will pay up to $2,000 toward burial expenses for deaths on or after September 11, 2001.
VA will pay up to $1,500 for deaths prior to September 10, 2001.
If the veteran is buried in a VA national cemetery, some or all of the cost of transporting the deceased may be reimbursed.

Nonservice-Related Death.
VA will pay up to $300 toward burial and funeral expenses, and a $300 plot-interment allowance for deaths on or after December 1, 2001.
The plot-interment allowance is $150 for deaths prior to December 1, 2001.  If the death happened while the veteran was in a VA hospital
or under VA contracted nursing home care, some or all of the costs for transporting the deceased’s remains may be reimbursed.

 

How Can You Apply?

You can apply by filling out VA Form 21-530, Application for Burial Benefits.  You should attach proof of the veteran’s military service (DD 214), a
death certificate, and copies of funeral and burial bills you have paid.
