The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) invites you to support Plan Today, Honor Forever — a national campaign raising awareness of VA burial and memorial benefits while encouraging early planning.
Too often, Veterans and their families miss out on these important benefits simply because they don’t know they exist. Planning ahead eases the burden on loved ones, ensures final wishes are honored, and helps families access the benefits they’ve earned.
Give Veterans Confidence to Make Decisions Early
When Veterans and families know their options, they can:
-
Make informed decisions about burial in a VA national cemetery or private cemetery
-
Explore VA burial allowances that may help cover costs
-
Share their preferences with loved ones
-
Submit a pre-need burial eligibility application to confirm eligibility and simplify arrangements later
The online pre-need burial eligibility application takes less than 10 minutes to complete and helps Veterans and their spouses plan with confidence.
