Navigating Burial Benefits and Appli - cations Cress Funeral Home provides expert assis- tance in navigating the application process for veteran burial benefits. These bene- fits can help cover costs related to burial, funeral services, and transportation. For those interred in a national cemetery, ad- ditional support is available for funeral expenses, plot or interment fees, and trans- portation of remains. Applying for these benefits involves com- pleting the necessary forms, such as the VA Form 21P-530 for burial allowances, with- in designated timeframes. For non-ser- vice-connected burial allowances, claims must be filed within two years after burial or cremation. However, there is no time limit for service-connected claims. Obtaining a Headstone or Marker The Department of Veterans Affairs of- fers headstones or markers for unmarked graves at no cost, honoring eligible veter- ans who meet specific criteria. Families can request these memorials by submitting the VA Form 10-1330. This ensures a per- manent tribute to the veteran’s service and sacrifice. For further assistance, families can reach out to the VA office or visit their website for comprehensive information on burial ben- efits and memorial items. At Cress Funeral Home, we stand by families every step of the way, ensuring that veterans receive the honor and recognition they deserve. Our commitment is to celebrate the lives of our nation's heroes with dignity and respect.
