How To Make Burial and Military Honors Arrangements:

National Scheduling

Arranging for burial of a veteran, spouse or dependent can only be done once the death has occurred. The veteran’s DD-214 Discharge documents must be emailed to [email protected], and then followed up with a phone call to the National Cemetery Scheduling Office at 1-800-535-1117 (open daily).

A scheduling agent will assist in verifying eligibility of the veteran and will also be able to reserve a date and time for burial and military honors.
