Information is used to determine if
requester is entitled to disinter a loved one from or within a
national cemetery. Next-of-kin are generally initiators of
disinterment requests.
US Code:
38 USC Section 2404 Name of Law: National Cemeteries and
Memorials Administration
The burden related to the
number of requests for disinterment made in a national cemetery is
increasing and can be unanticipated based on the veteran population
surrounding that national cemetery. There are a number of reasons
for the increase in disinterment actions to more than 1777 in the
current period of review: 1. The decedent’s family relocates to
another area and disinters their loved one to be at a nearby
cemetery. 2. Family/next of kin (NOK) disinters the remains and
relocates the remains to a private cemetery where other family
members are buried. 3. Cemetery disinters remains and reinters at
another gravesite within the same cemetery (i.e. family member is
interred in the columbaria, garden niche, or an in-ground location.
The subsequent interment is a casketed burial, the cremated remains
are disinterred and the remains are joined in the casket site. Most
Veteran authorized one gravesite).
