“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.”
-Abraham Lincoln-

Veteran Benefits
In recognition of the death of an Honorably Discharged Veteran, the U.S. Government extends the following benefits*:
- United States Flag
- Grave Marker / Headstone (at any cemetery)
- Presidential Memorial Certificate
- Military Honors
- Grave Space, Grave Liner, Opening & Closing and Perpetual Care at a National Cemetery for the Veteran and their spouse**
*Standard. Additional benefits may apply.
**This cost of this benefit can reflect over thousands of dollars in value.
Although there are declared benefits to honor those who have sacrificed for our country, the manner in which they are applied should require inspection. A conversation in advance of death removes the mystery toward; “Honoring the Veteran as they wanted” vs. “what would have the Veteran wanted?”
Our services explain all benefits available so that every Veteran is honored in the most meaningful way.
