This item tests how VA burial benefits are applied across the nationwide system. The phrase “gravesite in any of the VA national cemeteries with available space” means you can be laid to rest in any VA national cemetery as long as there is space, not just one specific location. The total number of VA national cemeteries is 155, which is why the blank is filled with 155. The rest of the benefits—opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate—are provided at no cost to the family. The key idea is that eligible veterans and certain dependents can receive a full burial package at VA cemeteries nationwide without family out-of-pocket expenses, wherever space is available among the 155 national cemeteries.
