Honoring Veterans

HONORING OUR VETERANS

Veteran Services

Veterans and their families may be entitled to benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that help cover cremation, burial, and related costs. We're glad to help you understand what's available and walk through the paperwork.

VA burial allowances help cover cremation, burial, funeral, and transportation costs. These benefits apply whether a veteran is buried or cremated, many families choosing a direct cremation with us still qualify for the same VA allowances.

• A veteran who didn't receive a dishonorable discharge
• A service member who died while on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training
• The spouse or minor child of a veteran, even if the veteran died first
• In some cases, the unmarried adult dependent child of a veteran

You can apply online through VA.gov, or by mail after completing VA Form 21P-530EZ, Application for Burial Benefits.

We're happy to walk you through the process, from figuring out which benefits apply to gathering the right documentation. For more information, visit the VA's burial benefits page or call the VA directly at 800-827-1000.
