Just what does burial in a National Cemetery involve? Burial benefits available include a gravesite in any of the 136 national cemeteries with available space, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a Government headstone or marker,  a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate, at no cost to the family. Some Veterans may also be eligible for  Burial Allowances. Cremated remains are buried or inurned in national cemeteries in the same manner and with the same honors as casketed remains.
