Florida National Cemetery

​Eligibility

If any of our members are thinking about being interned at a national cemetery, such as the national cemetery in Bushnell, FL, it is a great option. The national cemeteries are managed by the National Cemetery Administration, a component of the VA..  All national cemeteries are beautiful, have continuous perpetual care, and are offered free of cost for qualified veterans and their spouses and adult dependent children (click on button below to learn more about eligibility).

Pre-Need
​
The qualification and approval process could take 3-4 weeks, if not longer.  Therefore, it is advisable to plan early and pre-qualify -- the VA call this "pre-need" -- even if it will be years before the need arises.  (click on the button below to learn about how to apply early with the state cemetery of your choice).   Don't wait, start the planning process as soon as possible.  In doing so, the burden of your loved ones will be significantly lessened.
