    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced an update to the monetary allowance available for eligible burials in VA national cemeteries during 2021. This allowance helps cover the private purchase of an outer burial receptacle, like a graveliner, and is set at $372.00. The amount is calculated by subtracting administrative costs from the average cost of government-provided graveliners in 2020. This notice lets interested parties know about these cost details and the effective date of January 1, 2021.

This amount was decided by finding out what the government's box cost last year and taking away some small extra fees.
