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.
