To be eligible for the Burial Benefits, the deceased veteran must have been discharged or released from service under conditions other than dishonorable and must have either:

  3. Died while traveling under prior authorization or while properly institutionalized by VA.
The cost of transporting the body to the place of burial may be paid in addition to the burial allowance when:
  1. The veteran died of a service-connected disability or had a compensable service-connected disability and burial is in a national cemetery; OR
  2. The veteran died while in a hospital; domiciliary or nursing home to which he/she had been properly admitted under authority of VA; OR

A copy of the deceased veteran's discharge papers may be required along with the forms to apply for these benefits. A replacement for lost or destroyed discharge papers can be requested; however, it may take anywhere from 12-18 weeks to receive the replacement documents.
