A place of honor: State partnerships, federal grants help America meet an everlasting responsibility
Article Abstract:
State graveyards all over the US collectively attempt to offer free or low-cost gravesites for all who once honorably served their country, and the Virginia's Veterans Benefits Administration provides a grave site, headstone or marker, presidential memorial certificate, US Flag and perpetual care of the site, and a burial and plot allowance for those veterans eligible by law. However, for the services provided by funeral directors and other related costs, the veteran's family must pay fees.
