Honoring Our Veterans

898d8997-3628-459c-8ae0-9c1b3b3c7797.webp

​​We are deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice of the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We are honored to assist families in planning respectful and meaningful final arrangements that honor their legacy.​​​

Benefits for Veterans and Their Families

​​​Many veterans and their families are eligible for federal benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These can include:

  • Military funeral honors, such as folding and presentation of the U.S. flag and the playing of Taps

  • Burial allowances and reimbursement for funeral or cremation expenses

  • A government-issued headstone or marker

  • A Presidential Memorial Certificate acknowledging the veteran’s service

  • Burial or inurnment in a national or state veterans cemetery (if space is available)

These benefits are provided in recognition of the veteran’s service and may help cover some funeral, burial, or cremation costs. Families typically apply for these benefits after arrangements are made, and we can help guide you through the documentation and filing process. Cremations America+1

How We Can Help

Veterans with Flowers

Military Funeral Honors

Memorial Cemetery Flags

All eligible veterans are entitled to receive military funeral honors. These honors are conducted by a military honor guard and may include:

  • The folding and presentation of the United States flag

  • The playing of Taps

  • A rifle salute (in certain cases)

We can help coordinate these honors with the appropriate military branch as part of your loved one’s service. Funerals.org
