If a veteran chooses to be buried in a veterans cemetery, her or his spouse may be buried next to that veteran, with tombstone engraving and perpetual care provided, all at no cost to the family. Note, however, that the burial of a veteran's spouse MUST be next to the veteran. If a veteran chooses not to be buried in a veterans cemetery (the choice my father made, for example), then the spouse (in this case, my mother, who was never in the military) can not seek burial in a veterans cemetery, and certainly not for free.

In North America, a cemetery burial is forever, unless the cemetery is relocated. Then all the burials are moved to the new location, with their markers. In much of Europe, a modern cemetery burial is for a period of 50 years; then the cemetery plot can be resold and used again. This does not apply to Jewish cemetery burials. For religious reasons, Jewish cemetery plots are used only once and the burial is forever.
