CY 2022 is the average cost of
Government-furnished graveliners in
Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, less the
administrative cost incurred by VA in
processing and paying the allowance in
lieu of the Government-furnished
graveliner.
The average cost of Governmentfurnished graveliners is determined by
taking VA’s total cost during a fiscal
year for single-depth graveliners that
were procured for placement at the time
of interment and dividing it by the total
number of such graveliners procured by
VA during that fiscal year. The
calculation excludes both graveliners
pre-placed in gravesites as part of
cemetery gravesite development projects
and all double-depth graveliners. Using
this method of computation, the average
cost was determined to be $371.00 for
FY 2021.
The administrative cost is based on
the costs incurred by VA during CY
2021 that relate to processing and
paying an allowance in lieu of the
Government-furnished graveliner. This
cost has been determined to be $9.00.
The allowance payable for qualifying
interments occurring during CY 2022,
therefore, is $362.00.
