In a Veterans Cemetery, which document is required for interment scheduling?

• A. Birth Certificate
• B. Death Certificate
• C. Military ID Card
• D. DD214

Answer: (D)

For interment scheduling in a Veterans Cemetery, proof of eligibility is required, and the document that confirms this eligibility is the veteran’s discharge form, commonly the DD214. This form shows that the person served in the U.S. Armed Forces and provides the discharge status, which determines eligibility for burial in Veterans Cemeteries. The other documents listed don’t establish eligibility: a birth certificate verifies identity but not service or discharge details; a death certificate records the death but isn’t used to prove burial eligibility; a Military ID Card shows current status or identity but doesn’t confirm veteran status or discharge information needed for cemetery eligibility.
