My husband passed 6years ago at that time I paid for cremation . he had a marker and some of his ashes were placed .the thing I found very helpful was the back side of his marker was my name and I can also have ashes there as well what a burden was lifted now my son has no worries on those expenses.

I really hope this is true.
My 91 year old uncle served in WWII and the Korean War.
While he was overseas his wife told his kids he had died in the war. She divorced him and remarried. He never saw his kids again until I helped him find his oldest son over 60 years later. When we visited, his son said we were playing a cruel joke on him, he knew his Dad had died in the war! Not true! Finally after the initial shock , the son accepted it, his brother and sister as well.
My uncle was living with me and had given me his war medals. After finding his son , I thought it was only fitting that they went to the oldest son. I framed them against velvet and gave them back to my uncle. He was going to visit his son on his birthday.
When he arrived at his sons house he was greeted by " what are you doing here?" They made him sleep in his car in 100* weather.
The following day it was the sons birthday, my uncle gave him the medals I had framed, the sons response..
"What do I want these for" he threw them in the trash!
My uncle returned home and told me this and I was devastated, as was my uncle! I asked my uncle why he didn't just take them back? He replied " I was to upset and got in my car and left!"
He is bed ridden now and regrets not getting his medals back. I would love to surprise him with a set of new ones. He flew 35 missions over Germany and is very proud to have served his country!
God bless our veterans! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great article. I loved the facts . Does anyone know if my company might access a blank Employee Injury Report Form document to work with ?

It's very confusing. I'm a World War II Marine Corps vet. I will die soon. I am totally alone. I have a plot and a mortuary. How can/will the VA help???

I found this to be very helpful. Although, I am very confused with which forms I should be using. The 21P-530 VA form, which I assume are the current forms. This form does not request total expense of burial or funeral expenses. The funeral director had given me a copy of form 21-530, which is completely different from the online form. 18A on the 21P-530 asks if state or federal government contributed to the burial. Does that mean the $255 death benefit from Social Security needs to be reported as well?

Does this pertain to veterans that was not in War time Service?
