Uniformed Fire Officers Family Protection Plan

The Department of Veterans Affairs has launched a new program, Veterans Pre Need Burial Eligibility Determination, that will greatly assist Veterans and their families.  This program, which is found at, http://www.cem.va.gov/pre-need/

1-Allows Veterans and their families to have peace of mind as to their future burial eligibility and

2-Saves Veteran’s families valuable time after a Veteran has died.

Once VA determines that individuals are eligible, those individuals will be entitled to the same benefits they would receive were a determination made at the time of need (time of death). These include any or all of the following, at no cost to the family:

  • Burial in any open VA national cemetery, including opening and closing of the grave

  • Grave liner

  • Perpetual care of the gravesite

  • Government-furnished upright headstone, flat marker or niche cover

  • Burial flag

  • Presidential Memorial Certificate
