Which VA benefit covers free burial and a headstone at a National Cemetery?

• A. Montgomery GI Bill
• B. Free Healthcare Through VA Hospitals
• C. Death Benefit
• D. Veterans Home Loan Program

Answer: (C)

The concept tested is VA burial and memorial benefits. This benefit covers honoring a veteran after death, including burial in a National Cemetery at no cost and the provision of a government headstone or marker. That combination—free interment in a national cemetery and a headstone—is what the Death Benefit covers, helping families with funeral costs and ensuring a dignified resting place. The other options relate to education (Montgomery GI Bill), general healthcare (VA hospitals), or home loans (Veterans Home Loan Program), none of which provide the burial and memorial provisions described.
