State Veterans' Cemeteries - Interment

Summary

The bill defines "interment location" and requires the Department of Veterans and Military Families to provide a no‑cost outer burial receptacle for every burial, niche, or columbarium placement in Maryland's state veterans' cemeteries. It also establishes detailed steps for funeral homes, crematories, and organic‑reduction facilities to identify and transfer unclaimed veteran or eligible dependent remains to veterans service organizations or the Department, and adds consumer‑protection rules for paid veterans‑benefits services.
