JD & Avogado, thanks for both of your comments. Like I said, I just became fearful that people could get themselves into real trouble with some of this stuff. The original concept is excellent and I apologize if my comments appeared too hard on JD.

Here is the latest link from the VA regarding burial benefits. Looks like they are adding more room.
There are links to forms and a toll free number to call for info.

No offense taken. I think it was appropriate to add some disclaimers which I have done....and I will try to clarify things I see as clearly erroneous....

I would like people to get back to suggestions of things that have worked for them...especially people taking care of elderly or invalid loved ones. We all need help with that.
