My mother is 94 years old and the widow of a WWII veteran. My dad served from 1944-46. Is my mother entitled to any VA benefits?

Call your county VA office. Ask about Aids and Attendance. You will need Dads discharge papers. Not the one suitable for framing but the typed paperwork. My Dad had everything given him in same envelope he received it in. You will need Moms financials. The more info you have the better. It will take longer to get info if the VA rep has to get it.

Unless something’s changed, any member of the armed forces - and their spouse - is entitled to a military funeral and to be buried in a military cemetery. If you need a place to start, I’d call Arlington Cemetery in DC (technically No VA) and ask who you’d talk to in your area.
