Title: Committal Services, Memorial Services and Funeral Honors | |
Abstract:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations to address committal or memorial services and funeral honors. The proposed rule would reflect current VA practices relative to respecting the expressed wishes of the personal representative when making arrangements for the committal or memorial service. VA would clarify the process for requesting committal or memorial services when requesting interment at VA national cemeteries and we would address access to public areas at VA national cemeteries. The proposed rule would also address when committal services may be conducted at a gravesite rather than in a committal shelter. In addition, VA proposes measures in the regulation to implement the statutory requirement that VA notify the personal representative of the funeral honors available to the deceased veteran. |
