Where can a burial flag be obtained?

• A. From the funeral home
• B. At any first, second, or third class post office, at the fourth class post offices in the county seats or at any field station of the Veterans Administration (VA), including contact offices.
• C. From a local cemetery office
• D. Only at the Veterans Administration central office

Answer: (B)

Burial flags are provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and are distributed through local channels, not only from a central office. You can obtain one at any first-, second-, or third-class post office, at fourth-class post offices in county seats, or at VA field stations and contact offices. This network makes the flag readily available to families through nearby post offices or VA offices, rather than requiring a trip to a distant center. Funeral homes or cemetery offices aren’t the official sources for obtaining the flag, though they can assist with arrangements; the official source is the VA distribution network through local post offices and VA facilities.
