About
Dear Veteran,
I am a Veterans Advance Planning Specialist. I help veterans and their families understand and acquire the Veterans Burial Benefits they rightly earned and so richly deserve.
The business of funerals, cremations, cemeteries, funeral homes and death in general is often complex and difficult to understand. I want veterans to be honored for their contribution and sacrifice. The recognition of your military service for our country is an honor you deserve! As
an honorably discharged military veteran you qualify to receive exclusive savings and benefits.
Many of the men and women who protected our freedoms do not receive the proper respect they are entitled to at their passing. Sometimes, it’s because their families are unaware of all the Veterans Benefits which are available or they are unprepared to take advantage of them at the time of need.
What to do now?
It’s easy to get started. I will do all the work for you! My job is to help you secure all the benefits for which you are eligible.
Planning ahead greatly benefits your family. It will give you tremendous peace of mind knowing
you have taken care of all the details in advance that your loved ones would have to deal with at
the time of your death.
I am an Advance Planning Specialist for Veterans. Please call me for an appointment to secure your benefits today!
HUGE SAVINGS!
The above benefits come with a tremendous financial savings to you and your family! If you were to take the time to visit a few of the local, private cemeteries in the area, you would discover that the purchase of a cemetery plot, a vault for your casket, the opening and closing of the gravesite, a marker or headstone and the perpetual care of your plot would cost you several thousand dollars! In fact, the average price for these items in our area for just ONE PERSON is about $8,000 -$10,000!
SEVEN BURIAL AND MEMORIAL BENEFITS
Burial in a national cemetery is available for eligible Veterans, their spouses and dependents at
NO COST to the family and includes the following:
1. Gravesite
2. Concrete Casket Vault
3. Opening and Closing of the grave
4. A Headstone or Marker
5. Perpetual Care (as part of a national shrine)
6. American Flag (with case for active duty) and Military Funeral Honors
7. Presidential Memorial Certificate
****HOW TO SECURE YOU VETERANS BURIAL BENEFITS****
The Department of Veterans Affairs explains the following, “To arrange for a service or direct burial you should enlist the help of a funeral home.” To put it simply, your local funeral home is your best source for assisting you with all of the details of securing your benefits. The VA explains further that you should, “make prearrangements with them.” The funeral home will maintain a copy of the required documents for eligibility determination and will provide the VA with the information when required. They will also assist you and your family in scheduling services, obtaining your flag, scheduling military honors and making interment arrangements with the national cemetery.
