Local funeral homes probably could initiate the action/application but might charge a fee for doing so. The VA number is 1-800-827-1000. http://www.va.gov/forms/data/401330.htm ?These are the instructions for applying for a headstone. http://www.va.gov/forms/data/401330.pdf ? This is a picture of the form needed to apply. Note that this is .pdf so it will take some time to load and you will need Acrobat Reader to read it. The form is VA Form 40-1330, Application for standard government headstone or marker for installation in a private or state veterans' cemetery Note that the instruction states that Civil War Request should be made in block 27 of the application and says that it is necessary to submit detailed documentation which supports eligibility . If you want to check it out on the web, go to http://www.va.gov/ and then search on keywords 401330, 1330, 40-1330, headstone, grave, gravestone, marker, cemetery, memorial. Hope this helps better than those terrible URLs.
