Denied
The appellant's claim for burial death benefits, to include transportation expenses, was denied as he did not incur any transportation costs from the crematory to Arlington National Cemetery.
The deciding factor: There is no showing that there were any actual expenses related to the transportation of the Veteran's cremains to the cemetery, and VA regulations do not provide for reimbursement of such expenses except to the place of burial.
