Loved Ones Interment Act

Summary#

The bill would let the Department of Veterans Affairs provide a headstone or marker for certain cremated veterans who already received an urn or commemorative plaque. The veteran must be interred at the same burial site as another person eligible for a VA headstone or marker. The marker must include information about both people, and that information cannot raise its cost above the legal limit.
