National Cemetery Administration (NCA) policies

The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) provides dignified burial and memorial benefits for eligible veterans, service members, and their families. It maintains a network of cemeteries across the U.S., offering burial options including caskets, urns, and gravesites, often at no cost to eligible individuals. The NCA also manages memorials and ensures respectful, national remembrance. Policies focus on honoring service, ensuring equitable access, and providing support to families, with eligibility determined by military service, prior honors, and relationship to the deceased.
