Veterans Services
Veterans are special people.
Our family has great affection for those who have served our country. My grandfather was a major in the U.S. Army during World War II. He served with distinction in the South Pacific and returned to raise a large family of patriots. My father served in the Air Force during Vietnam and I was in the Air Force Reserve during a time when patriotism did not require great sacrifice.
Now our family is in the funeral service industry and it is time to do our small part to repay veterans who are increasingly coming to the end of their lives. The best thing we can do is to help their families cope with their loss and to ease their financial burden.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides burial benefits including a gravesite in any of 120 national cemeteries with available space, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate, at no cost to the family.
Cremated remains are buried or inurned in national cemeteries in the same manner and with the same honors as casketed remains.
We are fortunate to have the Tahoma National Cemetery conveniently located in our area:
