VA Updates Allowance for Private Purchase of Outer Burial Receptacle in VA National Cemeteries

Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs is updating the monetary allowance for qualifying interments in 2015, allowing veterans to use the funds to purchase a private outer burial receptacle, also known as a 'graveliner', in place of a government-provided one, with the updated allowance amount to be determined by the average cost of government-furnished graveliners minus administrative costs.
