What this benefit is

A state-operated cemetery at Bluffdale, north of Camp Williams. There are no fees for a veteran’s burial; a spouse or dependent child costs $1,002.00, adjusted annually. The mortuary, not the family, files the paperwork.

What it's worth: No fee for the veteran; $1,002.00 for an eligible spouse or dependent child

  • The agency states there are no fees for a veteran’s burial.
  • The spouse and dependent-child fee is published as $1,002.00 and described as adjusted annually, so the figure has a shelf life.
  • The amount shown is the family fee, because the veteran’s own burial carries no charge to quantify.

Who is entitled to it

  • The cemetery takes the veteran, and a spouse or dependent child at a fee.
  • The veteran’s discharge is documented on the DD-214.
  • Your home is in Utah.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Choose any funeral home or mortuary — the agency states families may use any of them, so this is not a decision that has to be made around the cemetery.
  2. 2Bring the veteran’s DD-214 or military discharge paperwork to the mortuary. The mortuary sends it to the cemetery; the family does not file it.
  3. 3The mortuary also contacts the cemetery to reserve the day and time for the graveside service and burial.
  4. 4Budget the family fee separately. Burial of an eligible spouse or dependent child is $1,002.00 and the figure is adjusted annually, so confirm the current one.
  5. 5The cemetery office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00, on Camp Williams Road in Bluffdale.

Once granted it does not need renewing.
CorrectionThe paperwork route runs through the mortuary, not the family. The DD-214 goes to the funeral home, which sends it on and books the graveside time.
Worth knowingThe $1,002.00 family fee is described as adjusted annually. Treat any figure you have read, including this one, as needing confirmation before it goes into a budget.
Known gapThe detailed eligibility rules — which reserve service counts, how a dependent child’s age is treated — are not in the benefit book. The cemetery office publishes no rule text that has been read this session.

Sources

Why only one source type: The agency’s own 2026 benefit book carries the location, the process and both fee figures. The statute establishing the cemetery has not been read this session — the state code site refused the connection — so no Utah Code citation is offered as authority.
