Is there a difference between mortuaries?
October 28, 2008
• Some mortuaries will file a VA claim for reimbursement of mortuary and burial allowances on behalf of the family and mail it to the VA Regional Office
• It is the family’s responsibility to ask the mortuary if they filed the claim. If they have not, then the family may file the claim themselves
What mortuary should we choose?
October 28, 2008
• VA employees cannot recommend a mortuary or any funeral arrangements
• For families unfamiliar with local services, mortuaries are listed in the yellow pages. They are pleased to give information about their services
