What about memorial markers?
VA will provide memorial markers for eligible veterans of deceased service members who remains were:
• not recovered or identified
• buried at sea
• donated to science
• cremated and scattered
The memorial marker must be placed in a national, state veterans, local or private cemetery. – If the placement of the marker is in a state, local or private cemetery:
• Va supplies the marker
• The marker is ordered through the funeral home or cemetery
• VA pays the cost of shipping
• VA does NOT pay for the plot or the placement of the headstone or marker. You will be given a choice of emblems that can be engraved upon the marker
