Veteran Cremation Services in Madison and Geneva, Ohio
Military Honors and VA Benefits for Veteran Cremation
Veterans and their eligible spouses may receive benefits including burial in a national cemetery such as the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, a government-furnished grave marker, a United States flag, and military honors at the service. We handle all DD-214 documentation and coordinate directly with local veterans groups to arrange military honors including flag folding, rifle salute, and taps.
Cremation Options for Veterans
Choosing cremation does not limit a veteran’s access to benefits or honors. Families may hold a traditional viewing or service before cremation, a memorial service after cremation with the urn and flag display, or a graveside committal with military honors at a national or local cemetery. Cremated remains may also be placed in a columbarium niche at a national cemetery. For details about our cremation process and safeguards, visit our cremation services and cremation safeguards pages.
