VA Amends Headstone, Marker Rules

Posted May 8, 2009

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its existing regulations regarding the authority to provide government-furnished memorial headstones and markers. Memorial headstones or markers are provided in certain circumstances to memorialize eligible veterans and certain family members whose remains are not available for interment. Per the Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008, eligibility for a memorial headstone or marker for placement in a national or state veterans cemetery has been extended to a veteran's surviving spouse who had a subsequent remarriage and whose remains are unavailable for interment. Previously a memorial headstone or marker could be provided for a veteran's surviving spouse who had a subsequent remarriage was terminated by death or divorce. This became effective May 1, 2009.
