We offer Veterans the opportunity to submit the required documentation to establish eligibility for burial before the need arises. Veterans and other eligible persons are encouraged to apply.

  1. Please complete DVA Form CMS-6 (Pre-Certification Application (MSVC)) and submit it to us.
  2. Please ensure you provide a legible copy of your DD Form 214 (Certificate of Discharge) showing your qualifying service.
  3. You will receive a letter back from us confirming your eligibility.

Please note: Pre-eligibility does not reserve a specific plot. Plots are assigned at the time of need. Additionally, all pre-certifications are subject to a final eligibility review at the time of need.

Form: DVA Form CMS-6 (Pre-Certification Application (MSVC)).
