Papa Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 My youngest brother had a massive heart attack last night and died. He is from Kentucky and was a Veteran. He had no insurance, and I would like to know if the state of Kentucky has a program to help Veterans. I know that the VA pays very little. He was also disabled, but he just did not want to deal with the VA. Any advice would be appreciated. Papa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted May 24, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 24, 2010 Papa: Sorry for your loss. The VA pays very little. My opinion is to see if the Veterans Administration has burial near him and usually funeral home knows the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 24, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 24, 2010 Did the vet die from a SC condition? You can get really basic amount of money for the burial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos2 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Papa, So sorry for your loss. As advised here, check with funeral director on any assistance/option available in his area. Remember the good times of the past with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
