VA will inscribe the phrase "IN MEMORY OF" on all memorial headstones and markers, as required under 38 CFR 38.630(c).

Information for optional items must be in English about the decedent (provided by an authorized applicant). Such optional items are:

War service includes active duty service during a recognized period of war and the individual does not have to serve in the actual place of war, e.g., Korea may be inscribed if the Veteran served during the Korean War period, even though the individual never served in the country. VA will inscribe authorized country names (e.g., Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.) as the war service only if the individual served in country.
The applicant must submit supporting documentation to VA to have the highest rank and/or awards inscribed on the headstone or marker.

Was there a pre-plan in place? If so, your loved one has taken care of all the details and just wishes for you to celebrate their life. If the death is more sudden or a plan is not in place, don’t worry, there are just a few key steps for you to take care of:

Determine after-life choices
Do you need embalming?
Do you need a casket?
Do you need to make cemetery arrangements?

When a death occurs, the order in which things need to be done often depends on where the death occurred. That's why we suggest that you ask a friend for help - someone who is more able to think clearly, and give you the support you need.

What does direct cremation mean?
A simple direct cremation means that there is no visitation or formal ceremony held. After the funeral home receives the decedent into their care, they will work with the family to file a death certificate. Once a cremation authorization is filed, the funeral home will proceed with the cremation. The family will then receive the cremated remains in a standard urn.

Cremations have become a popular choice. We’ll help you through the cremation process and then in creating a sacred space for cremated remains.
