About Veteran Funeral Plan
Free, unbiased information for veterans and the families who love them.
Why This Site Exists
Most veterans and their families don't fully understand the burial and memorial benefits they've earned through service. The VA provides real, meaningful support — burial allowances, free graves in national cemeteries, military honors, headstones — but navigating the system is confusing, and the paperwork can feel overwhelming at the worst possible time.
VeteranFuneralPlan.com was built to fix that. Every page on this site is written in plain English, organized around real questions families ask, and kept up to date with current VA benefit amounts. No sales pitch. No upsell. Just information.
We believe every veteran deserves to have their service honored — and every family deserves to know what they're entitled to before, not after, the moment of need.
Always Free
Every resource on this site — guides, calculators, checklists, state benefit tables — is completely free. There is no subscription, no registration wall, and no hidden cost.
No Product Sold Here
This is an informational resource, not a marketplace. We don't sell insurance, funeral packages, or any product directly. Our only ask is that you share this site with a veteran family who might need it.
Independently Maintained
We are not affiliated with the VA or any government agency. Benefit figures are sourced from official VA publications and updated regularly. For official eligibility determinations, always confirm directly with the VA.
A Service of Aegisant Insurance
VeteranFuneralPlan.com is provided as a public resource by Aegisant Insurance, a platform connecting licensed preneed insurance agents with families who need them.
If you visit this site through an agent referral link (you'll see a banner at the top of the page), that agent has chosen to share these free resources with their clients. They are a licensed professional who can help bridge the gap between what the VA provides and what a complete plan requires.
No agent can see your activity on this site. The referral only activates if you choose to request the free planning guide.
