Can a remarried spouse be buried at a VA National Cemetery?

A remarried spouse can indeed be buried in a VA National Cemetery. The eligibility for burial in a VA National Cemetery extends to the spouse of a veteran, regardless of whether that spouse is the veteran's first spouse or a subsequent spouse. The Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes the important role spouses play in the life of a veteran, and therefore extends burial benefits to ensure that all spouses are honored in this manner.

This eligibility applies as long as the marriage is valid and recognized, which includes remarriages. It’s important for the remarried spouse to provide documentation of the veteran's military service and the marriage certificate to facilitate the burial process.

The other options do not accurately reflect the policies concerning burial eligibility for spouses. Only specific circumstances regarding the marriage duration or benefits do not restrict the burial rights for a remarried spouse, emphasizing the inclusive approach the VA takes in recognizing the contributions and sacrifices of spouses in the lives of veterans.
