Available benefits for veterans and families

Vets, do you know the death benefits available to you?

The death of a family member is always a difficult time. We would like to be sure you are aware of the benefits available to you when a veteran passes.

Funeral benefits available from the VA is $3,000 for cremation and burial is $5,600. Please come to our office before funeral arrangements are made at the funeral home so we can coordinate with the funeral home on the price, otherwise the VA benefits may not be available.

Also, please notify us when funeral arrangements are being made so we can set up an honor guard for you.

The family of a veteran can get a headstone and a medallion for the grace to no cost.
