The National Cemetery Administration is committed to ensuring accurate symbolic expressions of remembrance are provided to honor the military service of a deceased Veteran. We may provide a headstone, marker, or niche cover to identify the burial place in a federal, Department of Defense, or state Veterans cemetery. We may also provide a headstone, marker, or medallion for Veterans buried in private or public cemeteries.
