Section 2113. Markers on Graves; Memorial Certificates; Headstones.--* * *
(f) The county commissioners of the county are hereby authorized and directed to place a marker upon the grave of each deceased service person who, at the time of his or her death, had his or her legal residence in the county, whether or not he or she died in the county and whether or not he or she was buried in the county, and upon the grave of each deceased service person buried in the county who, at the time of his or her death, did not have a legal residence within this Commonwealth. When such deceased service person shall have been a veteran of any war or campaign for which the Government of the United States issued discharge buttons, the markers designated for their graves shall include a facsimile of said discharge button. When such markers are upright flag holders they shall consist of cast bronze or any other weather resistant material. When such deceased service person shall have been a veteran of the Korean Conflict, the markers designated for their graves shall include a circular emblem with the words "Korea, U.S., 1950-1953" in the border thereof, and shall incorporate the insignia of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, in the form approved by the Veterans' Commission. In lieu of placing an upright flag holder on the grave, if the next of kin of a veteran so requests, a memorial certificate may be issued to the next-of-kin of a deceased service person who at the time of his or her death had his or her legal residence in the county, whether or not he or she died in the county and whether or not he or she was buried in the county. The memorial certificate shall indicate the deceased service person's name and designate the war or campaign in which the deceased service person served.
