In addition to the minimum honors, eligible veterans may receive: • A three-volley rifle salute symbolizing duty, honor, and country. • The draping of the U.S. flag over the casket as a poignant symbol of the nation's gratitude. • A final salute at the gravesite, serving as a tangible expression of honor and respect.
Veteran Benefits: Ensuring Lasting Recognition Beyond coordinating traditional military honors, we are dedicated to assisting you in communi- cating with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to arrange for additional recognition and support, including: • Presidential Memorial Certificate: A certificate expressing the nation's recognition of the veter- an's service, bearing the President's signature and the veteran's name. • Headstones or Markers: The VA provides headstones and markers for the graves of veterans anywhere in the world, as well as for eligible dependents of veterans interred in national, state, or military cemeteries. • Memorial Plots: If the remains of an eligible veteran are not available for burial, the VA will provide a plot and headstone or marker in a national cemetery for memorialization. In cases where the memorial is placed in a non-national cemetery, the VA will provide the headstone or marker, excluding the plot itself. • Burial in a VA National Cemetery: This includes the gravesite, opening and closing of the grave, a grave box, and perpetual care, ensuring a dignified and respectful final resting place. • Reimbursement of Burial Expenses: The VA offers different levels of potential reimbursement for burial expenses. Detailed information, including eligibility criteria and reimbursement tiers, can be found in the comprehensive Guide to VA Burial Allowances. At Foster Funeral & Cremation Service, it is our honor and privilege to ensure that every veteran receives the recognition and respect they so rightfully deserve for their dedicated service to our country. We are committed to providing dignified and professional assistance, guiding you through this process with compassion and reverence.
