How many burial flags can be provided for each deceased veteran?

The provision of one burial flag for each deceased veteran is consistent with the guidelines outlined by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This flag is intended as a respectful token of appreciation for the service and sacrifice of the veteran. It is commonly placed on the casket during burial or memorial services and can also be displayed at home by the family of the deceased veteran as a symbol of honor.

The policy ensures that each veteran is recognized individually, and the single flag serves to commemorate their unique service. This practice reinforces a sense of dignity and respect during memorials while providing a uniform approach to honoring all veterans equally.
