New law concerning eligibility for VA headstones and markers
A recent law change allows the VA to furnish an appropriate headstone or marker for the graves of eligible veterans buried in private cemeteries, whose deaths occur on or after December 27, 2001, regardless of whether the grave is already marked with a non-governmental marker or headstone. Previously VA headstones or markers were available only for the unmarked graves of veterans.
