Sec.  12.8  Memorial headstones and markers.

    (a) Who may be memorialized. (1) A person's eligibility for 
memorialization in a national cemetery is determined in accordance with 
the provisions of Federal statutory law.
    (2) The superintendent may authorize the installation of a memorial 
headstone or marker of an eligible person provided that no more than one 
individual memorial headstone or marker is authorized for each eligible 
person. The erection of an individual memorial marker to a person is not 
allowed in the same national cemetery in which the decedent's name is 
inscribed on a group burial headstone or marker.
    (b) Application. (1) The person eligible to submit an application 
requesting a memorial headstone or marker is the next-of-kin of the 
decedent to be memorialized. An application received from a close 
relative will be honored if it is submitted on behalf of the next-of-kin 
or if the next-of-kin is deceased.
    (2) An applicant for a memorial headstone or marker shall submit 
such a request to the superintendent.
