Does VA pay for cremation or burial expenses?
VA does not pay for cremation directly. Any item or service obtained from a funeral home will be at the families' expense. Some Veterans' families may be entitled to a burial allowance

Can I be buried in a National Cemetery if I’m cremated?
Yes, either in ground or above ground placement is available, depending on the cemetery.

Can my spouse be buried with me in a VA National Cemetery?
Yes. However spousal benefits do not apply if the Veteran is buried in a private cemetery.

Anyone can be impacted by human trafficking. Family and intimate partners are the second and third most common recruiters of victims into trafficking, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Emotional abuse, economic abuse, and threats are the top three methods of coercion.
VA is ready to assist Veterans impacted by human trafficking by helping identify risk and providing immediate care.
