Veteran Funeral Services

Veteran Funeral Services

We take great pride in honoring veterans that have passed away. We perform funeral services that pay tribute to their bravery and sacrifice. Providing quality military funeral honors is our small way of thanking veterans for serving our country and fighting for our freedom. 


Family members must notify one of our funeral directors that their loved one was a military member. This way, we can contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the appropriate armed forces branch (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard) to see if your loved one is eligible to receive military death benefits. Below we have outlined some circumstances where your loved one would be eligible to receive military death benefits: 

  • Your loved one was a military member on active duty or was in the Selected Reserve.
  • Your loved one was a former military member who served on active duty and left the military under honorable conditions.
  • Your loved one completed at least one term of enlistment or a period of initial obligated service in the Selected Reserve and left under honorable conditions.
  • Your loved one was a former military member from the Selected Reserve discharged due to a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.

Providing our funeral directors with your loved one’s D.D. Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, would be helpful to expedite the application process. There is no concern if you do not have this form; our funeral directors can request it on your behalf. If you want the form, you can request it online from the National Archives


Gaining eligibility for military death benefits can be a bit complex, but that is what our funeral directors and staff are there for. We will take care of the entire process and explain to you the benefits your loved one is entitled to.
