Denied
The Board denied the claim for a government-furnished headstone or grave marker for the Veteran's grave due to the Veteran being buried in a private cemetery and his grave already being marked.
The deciding factor: The criteria for entitlement to a government-furnished headstone or grave marker have not been met as the Veteran died before November 1, 1990, and his grave is already marked in a private cemetery.
