Veterans Burial Allowance
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides financial assistance to eligible veterans' families to help with burial and funeral expenses. This assistance comes in the form of a cash allowance. The amount of the allowance varies depending on the circumstances of the veteran's death.
Different amounts are paid for service-connected deaths and for deaths that occur while the veteran is hospitalized by the VA. Further details on the Veterans Burial Allowance, including eligibility and payment amounts, are available from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Families of eligible veterans can contact the VA for more information on how to receive this benefit.
