Key Points

  • Requires the Veterans Affairs Secretary to send Congress a report every year on the National Cemetery Administration, starting within 1 year of the law taking effect.
  • The report must count burials at each open national cemetery and break them out by who was eligible and whether remains were casketed or cremated.
  • The report must include customer satisfaction results, maps of national and certain state/tribal veterans cemeteries, and a plain description of burial options at each open national cemetery.
  • The report must list construction work finished and planned at national cemeteries, plus how many unclaimed veterans’ remains were buried and where.
  • VA must also report on cemetery-related grants (including who got them, the dollar amount, and what the money is for) and post the full report online in a public digital format.
