HR 9804 United States House · 118th Congress

Loved Ones Interment Act

This bill amends VA policy to allow headstones or markers for cremated veterans buried alongside other eligible veterans. It specifically permits the VA to provide such markers when the cremated veteran shares a burial site with another eligible veteran (per 38 U.S.C. §2402(a)), the marker includes both individuals' names, and the cost does not exceed current limits. The change directly affects cremated veterans interred with other eligible veterans at VA cemeteries. It does not expand eligibility but adjusts how existing markers are provided under specific conditions.
