We coordinate the honors and help you claim the benefits your loved one earned, at no guesswork to you.
Military honors & VA benefits
The ceremony
For eligible veterans, the Department of Defense provides military funeral honors — the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the family, and the playing of Taps by at least two uniformed service members. We coordinate this with the appropriate military branch.
Burial benefits
Eligible veterans may receive burial in a VA national cemetery at no cost — including the plot, opening and closing, a government headstone or marker, and perpetual care — or a headstone/marker and burial flag for a private cemetery, plus a Presidential Memorial Certificate.
How we help — and what you'll need

Bring the discharge papers if you can The most helpful document is the veteran's discharge certificate (DD Form 214). If you can't locate it, don't worry — we can help request it. We'll guide you through everything else, step by step.
