VA requires this information to ensure that funeral honors activities performed on VA property maintain the honor and dignity of the national cemetery and do not negatively impact the safety of cemetery visitors. All funeral honors providers be required to certify compliance with VA security, safety, and law enforcement regulations, to ensure the protection of decedent’s families and other cemetery visitors. This certification is to raise awareness of VA standards and to increase the accountability of these organizations performing activities on VA property. VA also would require certification that equipment used by the all funeral honors details during a committal or memorial service be maintained and operated in a safe manner consistent with relevant VA policies and regulations, as well as DoD policy, if applicable. In addition, all funeral honors providers would be required to certify that they will not solicit or accept donations on VA property, except as authorized under 38 CFR 1.218(a)(8).
