Preserving Veterans’ Legacy Act of 2024
This bill allows the VA to provide a single headstone or marker for groups of eligible veterans buried together in group interments, instead of individual markers. It sets a 7-year expiration for this provision, ending seven years after the bill's enactment. The bill also extends the deadline for burying spouses and dependent children of veterans or active-duty service members at national cemeteries from October 1, 2024, to October 1, 2031. These changes directly affect veterans buried in group interments and their families seeking burial benefits at VA national cemeteries.
