Who is eligible for a military funeral?
Military funerals are available for active service military. Military funerals are also open to anybody who's been in the military and was honorably discharged, retired military, reserve military, their spouses and sometimes their dependents, depending on age. Military funerals are not that difficult to be able to facilitate. If you are active military, you would have a military ID card; if you're retired military or separated from the military, you would have what's called a DD-214, and that's what they would want to see in order for you to be buried at a Veterans' Administration cemetery.
