Service Officer's Notes September 20, 2025
You may want to consider pre-registering for VA Cemetery using the VA Form 40-10007. You can find the form with instructions on VA Forms: https://www.va.gov/find-forms/. This entitles you to a headstone, flag and burial at a VA Cemetery.
You do not have to select a site at the time of registration. Registering now ensures any survivors do not have to apply and wait for confirmation. Note- Punchbowl is only accepting cremations now unless you have a family member already buried there.
Below are 2 options on how to engage the VA in-person on Oahu (not using online website or a VSO like the VFW).
Lastly, I have provided as well as the "State” Vet Cemetery on the Windward side.
