Military members on active duty or in the Selected Reserve
Former military members who served on active duty and departed under conditions other than dishonorable
Former military members who completed at least one term of enlistment or period of initial obligated service in the Selected Reserve and departed under conditions other than dishonorable
Former military members discharged from the Selected Reserve due to a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.

Anyone who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and died either during active duty or after he or she was honorably discharged is eligible for military funeral honors and benefits.
A Qualifying Veteran will receive:
1.) A gravesite or columbarium niche at no charge in any VA national cemetery with available space.
2.) In the case of a casketed ground burial, this includes opening and closing the gravesite, a graveliner, and a gravemarker.
3.) Those selecting cremation and inurnment in a columbarium niche will receive a niche cover, which is available in bronze, granite or marble.
4.) Qualifying veterans will also receive a U.S. flag, regardless of their final disposition choice. This will either drape the casket during the funeral service, and until the burial, or accompany the cremation urn during the funeral or memorial service. At the conclusion of the service, the folded flag will be presented to the veteran's next-of-kin or a designated recipient.
6.) Finally, every eligible veteran may receive a military funeral honors ceremony. This entails a minimum of two uniformed military personnel -- with at least one of them representing the deceased veteran's branch of the military -- playing "Taps" and folding/presenting the U.S. flag to the next-of-kin or a designated recipient.
