Veteran Funeral Services
We believe the story of every veteran's life deserves to be shared. We are deeply committed to providing families with exceptional veterans services and can assist you in securing military burial benefits. When it comes time for you to make arrangements for the veteran in your life, know that our staff is both qualified and committed to providing them with the military honors they deserve.
The Veteran
When arranging for veterans' burial services, you can rely on us to complete all the necessary paperwork involved in obtaining the military death and burial benefits that are available. These can include:
- Burial Flag
- Headstone or Marker
- Burial in a National or State Veterans Administration Cemetery
- Presidential Memorial Certificate
We are proud to honor our service men and women by providing military honors for them. To provide this service to our families, we will need a copy of the veteran's discharge papers (DD-214). The discharge papers enables us to contact the appropriate branch of the armed forces to set up military honors and also to provide a burial flag.
If you are unable to locate the veteran's discharge papers, you can go to the National Archives
to request military records on line.
