Memoria Knowledge Base Library provides comprehensive support during challenging times like funerals, offering practical planning resources. Our aim is to empower you with knowledge, compassion, and understanding as you navigate the funeral industry.
You can apply for a burial flag by completing VA Form 27-2008, Application for United States Flag for Burial Purposes. The funeral provider can assist you with obtaining a flag as well. U.S. Post Offices are the primary issuing point for burial flags; call and confirm with the post office in advance. Not all local post offices have burial flags on hand, but they should be able to direct you to the closest issuing post office. Regional VA offices can also help identify local issuing points.
