Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting our Veterans’ Memories Act, aims to provide financial assistance to state and local cemeteries for plots used to bury veterans’ spouses and children. It amends existing law to direct the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay cemeteries $525 per plot for these burials, with the amount increasing over time. The bill also clarifies who qualifies as a ‘minor child’ and ‘unmarried adult child’ for the purposes of this plot allowance. Ultimately, the goal is to ease the financial burden on families of veterans when they choose to be buried in state-owned cemeteries.
