Upon the completion of the burial or removal and reinterment of a deceased veteran, the persons having charge thereof shall make an itemized statement, and shall verify and file such statement with the veterans service commission, which shall, at the next regular meeting, act upon such expense account and file it with the county auditor forthwith, at which time it shall become a charge upon the county in which the interment or reinterment is made.
Such expense shall be audited and the auditor shall issue a warrant for it on the county treasurer, who shall pay such warrant out of the general fund of the county.
