Veteran Burial Benefits

Submitted by J. Paul Comola, Central Texas State Veterans
Cemetery (CTSVC) Outreach Volunteer, 512-819-9953

Are you a veteran of any branch
of the U.S. Armed Forces? Did you
receive an honorable discharge
from active duty? If you can an-
swer yes to both of these questions,
then you and your spouse are prob-
ably eligible for an incomparable
benefit provided by the State of
Texas – burial at a State of Texas Veterans Cemetery. The
Texas program allows you to pre-register to reserve a space.
Interment is at no cost for the veteran and minimal cost for
the spouse. The benefit includes: burial space, concrete liner
for casket, grave opening and closing, engraved headstone and
perpetual care. For cremated remains, you may chose in-ground
interment, Columbarium Wall interment, or distribution of
ashes in the Scattering Garden.

Veterans interested in this benefit should review their eligi-
bility with a veterans cemetery representative. For further
information and to arrange an appointment, you may call the
Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen at 254-
616-1770 or Sun City Texas resident J. Paul Comola, CTSVC
Outreach Volunteer, at 512-819-9953. You will need a copy of
your DD214 and your marriage certificate.
