Of the many benefits the Veterans Administration (V.A.) provides to our veterans, the most honorable benefit is burial space at at a VA National Cemetery.

At no charge, the VA Houston National Cemetery provides for both the Veteran and his/her Surviving Spouse:

• Grave Space
• Burial Vault
• Headstone
• Opening/Closing of the Grave

The cost for all of these items at most Houston cemeteries would total $6,000 to $10,000 for for each person.
