Burial in a national cemetery is open to all members of the armed forces who have met a minimum active-duty service requirement and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
A
Veteran's spouse, widow or widower, minor dependent children, and under certain
conditions, unmarried adult children with disabilities may also be eligible for
burial. Eligible spouses and children may be buried even if they predecease the
Veteran.
Members
of the reserve components of the armed forces who die while on active duty or
who die while on training duty, or were eligible for retired pay, may also be
eligible for burial.
