If you are a veteran or the spouse of a veteran you are entitled to a free grave. My parents grave in a veterans cemetery overlooks the Pacific. They are surrounded by heroes. There is a lot more space available for cremated remains. The reason that I mention this is because I had a cousin who was a veteran. When he died his widow did not know that. I did not say anything because it was not my place to butt in.
I don’t think that is true. I went to the veterans website and all your family gets is a flag and some war disabled vets get a few bucks to help with the cost. If you have other information please direct me to it, I’m doing a living will.
