Yes. You can plan ahead to make the process of applying for a burial in a VA national cemetery easier for your family members in the event of your death. To do this, you’ll need to apply for
a pre-need eligibility determination. NOTE: The pre-need eligibility determination is only for VA national cemeteries. If you want to be buried in a state or tribal Veterans cemetery, check
the site you want ahead of time since some state Veterans cemeteries require that you live in that state or have other rules around eligibility. Want to share more feedback? We'll use
