We also help families understand available veteran burial benefits, bereavement counseling, and survivor support programs—so you can focus on remembrance, not paperwork. Let us help you honor a life of service with dignity.

Veteran Wall of Honor, Flags of Honor, and Cookout

🎖️ If your veteran has not been registered to receive a holiday flag, please reach out to your Family Service Counselor or call our office: https://www.sunsetmemorialfrankfort.com/contact-us/

This Memorial Day weekend, join us to honor the brave men and women who have given their lives for our country. We invite veterans to sign our Wall of Honor, allowing the community to recognize their service, and we want to give a special thanks to Boy Scout Troop 269 for placing flags at veteran resting places.

As you pay tribute to local heroes, you may also enjoy our free cookout and register for our giveaway. We look forward to remembering service members who gave their all and made the ultimate sacrifice.

If you know a bereaved mother, we’d like to share a few reminders to help you support her in thoughtful ways:

💬 Unless the mother has said otherwise, it’s okay to speak her child’s name. This welcomes reflection and acknowledges her relationship with her child.

🍱 To offer practical support, mention specific tasks rather than general platitudes. For example, try something like, “Can I bring you lunch today?” instead of, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

🫂 If the mother needs company or space to herself, honor her wishes.

To the bereaved mothers in our community, know our hearts are with you. We wish you a day of gentle memories and comfort. ❤️
