Arkansas has two state veterans cemeteries: North Little Rock at 1501 West Maryland Avenue, phone 501-683-2259, and Birdeye at 3600 Hwy 163, phone 870-588-4608. Burial is free for veterans and costs $807 for a dependent. Either way you get the grave site, opening and closing of the grave, a columbarium niche if you choose cremation, an upright federal government headstone or niche cover, and perpetual care.
Complete a pre-eligibility application for the cemetery you want, so your eligibility is settled before there is a need. At the time of need, the funeral director submits the interment application.
Your DD214 or other discharge paperwork, and for a spouse or dependent, a marriage certificate or proof of dependency plus the death certificate.
