Steps
Call the National Cemetery Scheduling Office at 800-535-1117 (or fax 866-900-6417 / email NCA.Scheduling@va.gov) to request scheduling
Check the public, browsable Daily Burial Schedule at cem.va.gov/dailyburialschedule for a given national cemetery
File a burial allowance claim on paper Form 21P-530EZ when applicable
If building a broader VA benefits integration, review developer.va.gov's Benefits APIs (Reference Data, Intake, Claims, Documents), understanding none are burial-scheduling-specific
Have eligibility documentation (e.g., DD-214) ready before contacting the scheduling office to speed manual processing
Known gotchas
There is no confirmed digital API for burial scheduling or eligibility determination; this remains phone/fax/email and paper forms
The Daily Burial Schedule page is read-only/browsable, not a machine-queryable feed
