Burial at VETERAN Cemetery, FROM $3,995
Of the many benefits the Veterans Administration (V.A.) provides to our veterans, the most honorable benefit is burial space at at a VA National Cemetery.
At no charge, the V.A. Houston National Cemetery provides for both the Veteran and his/her Surviving Spouse:
- Grave Space
- Burial Vault

The cost for all of these items at most Houston cemeteries would total $6,000 to $10,000 each.
The V.A. does not cover the funeral home costs, but we honor our veterans and their spouses with burial packages starting at $3,995. Details below.
