* Unclaimed Period is calculated based on the amount of time that has elapsed between the date of the individuals death and the date that the individual's VA status as a Veteran is verified. Unclaimed Cremains are the cremated remains of an individual that can not be interred due to the lack of identifiable Next of Kin to resolve the issues that prevent the remains from being interred. Unclaimed cremains are frequently shelved in a storage area at the mortuary, cemetery or funeral home until a legal resolution becomes available. This storage period may be indefinite.
