Pennsylvania SB130 amends burial benefits for deceased servicepersons by requiring notification to county directors of veterans affairs.

Pennsylvania SB130 amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add a section on burial benefits. It mandates that licensed funeral directors, funeral entities, or cemetery companies notify the county director of veterans affairs within 96 hours of receiving the remains of a deceased serviceperson who had legal residence in the county at the time of death. This notification requirement applies unless the cemetery company provided interment for cremated remains without the involvement of a licensed funeral director or funeral entity.
