A Central Islip resident contacted my office for assistance in ensuring her deceased uncle, a World War II veteran, could be interred at Calverton National Cemetery with military honors. The process was complicated by her inability to obtain the necessary death certificate, as she was not a sibling, spouse, or child of the deceased. My casework team reached out to the National Cemetery Eligibility Verification Division to clarify requirements and find a solution. Earlier this month, the veteran was interred at Calverton with the full military honors he deserved.
