An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, providing for burial benefits.

HB 427 requires funeral directors, funeral entities, and certain cemetery companies to notify a county's veterans affairs office within 96 hours when handling the remains of a veteran who lived in that county at the time of death. It specifically applies to cemetery companies only if they are interring cremated remains without prior funeral services. The bill mandates that these providers also give the veteran's family contact details for the county veterans office. This law directly affects funeral and cemetery businesses handling veteran remains in Pennsylvania. It creates a clear notification process to help veterans' families access burial benefits.
