Who is not eligible?
Some veterans are not eligible for funeral honors. This
includes, for example, those discharged from the Armed
Forces under dishonorable conditions or individuals
sentenced to death or life imprisonment without parole for a
federal or state capital offense. If you have eligibility
questions, talk with the funeral director or us. Further
clarification on eligibility is available in Title 10 and
