If you have recently lost a loved one who served their country, it can be important to know about the funerary benefits that they are entitled to. This is not always something that is easy for people to know about, so it can always help to learn a bit about the options that you have for your loved one. If your loved one was a veteran and you are not sure about what to expect, here are some things that directors of funeral homes in Milltown, NJ<\/a> want you to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

One of the first things that you have to do is to ensure that your loved one is entitled to veteran benefits. If your loved one served in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guards, and they received a general discharge, they are entitled to benefits. If your loved one served in the National Guard and died while on duty, they, too, are eligible for these options. Most of the time, if your loved one received a dishonorable discharge, they will not be eligible for benefits, but you still want to reach out to the VA to know for sure. Another thing to remember is that the spouses and dependent children of veterans are also eligible for funerary benefits. In some instances, even the parents of veterans can receive assistance. To make sure, you want to reach out to the VA.<\/p>\n

Another thing that you want to make sure of is that you know what the funerary services<\/a> include. Your loved one can receive a burial in a national cemetery at no cost. This includes the opening and closing of the grave, the grave marker or stone, perpetual care, and a few other services. If you do not want a national cemetery, you can choose a state one. Do remember that you cannot reserve a spot in advance, so you may not be able to offer your loved one the exact spot that they may have wanted.<\/p>\n

It Is also important to know that the VA may reimburse some of the charges. This means that you will have to pay for the casket, the flowers, the rental of the space, and the transportation to the place of burial. In many cases, however, the VA will reimburse you, so you do want to reach out and ask.<\/p>\n
