Allows the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide a headstone or marker for a cremated veteran who is interred at the same grave or burial site as another eligible person, if the marker includes information for both individuals and adding that information does not push the marker cost above the legal maximum. The change clarifies the statute by adding an explicit exception and reorganizing existing subparagraphs to make this authority clear.
This is a narrowly focused technical change to veterans' burial benefits that makes it easier for families to receive a single marker that memorializes two eligible persons without increasing VA cost beyond the statutory cap.
