VA Form 40-10190: Funeral Honors Providers Certification Form

VA Form 40-10190 is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Funeral Honors Providers Certification Form. It is completed by a funeral honors provider organization, not by a Veteran or family. The organization gives its name and contact details and those of its designated representative, the person authorized to represent the organization, who then signs a set of certifications made in accordance with 38 CFR 38.619. VA's form page lists it under burials and memorials.

The form is one page. All provider organizations certify that they and their members will comply with VA security, safety and law enforcement regulations under 38 CFR 1.218, maintain and operate any equipment in a safe manner and not solicit for or accept donations on VA property except as authorized under 38 CFR 1.218(a)(8). Non-DoD funeral honors provider organizations make three additional certifications. The form carries OMB number 2900-0865, which expires July 31, 2028.
