Virginia state law requires the Commonwealth to pay any burial fee for the spouse of a National Guard or Reserve member at a state veterans cemetery, regardless of whether the spouse dies before or after the service member. This means family members of Guard and Reserve can be buried alongside their veteran at no cost to the family.

This is a distinct benefit from the general veterans cemetery benefit, specifically guarantees Guard/Reserve spouses are covered at no family cost. The Commonwealth directly covers the cemetery's burial fee.
