Veteran Burial Benefits
With Honorable Discharge papers, also known as a DD214, our funeral home can secure a burial flag. The deceased veteran can also receive military honors at the grave, or a church, or even at the Delaware County Veteran's Memorial on West Chester Pike in Newtown Square. Also, a deceased veteran's spouse will receive ten certified copies of the Pennsylvania Death Certificate.
A veteran can also be buried in a Veteran's Cemetery at no cos to the family. The Veteran Administration will also provide a vault and grave stone. The closest cemetery to the Delaware County area is Washington Crossing National Cemetery. With a DD214, our funeral home can coordinate with the cemetery and the family, the day and time for burial of either a casketed or cremated remains. In the future upon their death, the spouse can be buried with their veteran spouse.
