Remembering a Veteran With Dignity

Our veterans our absolutely essential to the safety and prosperity of our country. They serve their nation proudly, often making significant sacrifices in the process. When a veteran passes away, it is absolutely vital that they are remembered the right way. If you or someone you know is looking for funeral homes in or near Camby, IN, you should know that there’s one in your area that is deeply committed to treating our veterans the right way. We know that matters to you and your family, and it matters to us, too. There is no substitute for having the right approach and handling things with a great deal of dignity. 

At Carlisle-Branson Funeral Service & Crematory, we take our nation’s veterans very seriously. It shows in everything we do and the way we do it. If you have recently lost a veteran, it is important that we remember the every extent to which they lived a full life that is worth celebrating in full. They may have been a wife or husband, mother or father, and they were certainly important to their community. Veterans are unique thanks to their service and contributions. It is crucial that their funeral services reflect that. That means setting the right kind of tone and customizing the service accordingly. 

We offer a number of unique services for veterans and their families. Standard honor military funerals may include a military chaplain, a Flag Presentation Service provided by a chaplain from the American Legion, and a Final Salute at the gravesite itself. Full honor military funerals include all the previously mentioned features as well as a 16 gun salute (depending upon one’s rank), a United States flag draped over the casket and later presented to next-of-kin, and either a recording or performance of Taps. 

These are the kinds of measures that can really make a difference and send the right message, signs of appreciation that wouldn’t accompany a typical funeral. If you are looking to go the extra mile for your loved one, these are some of the items you certainly may wish to consider. 

Note that we will also help you get in touch with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) so that you can make arrangements related to a Presidential Memorial Certificate, headstones or markers, memorial plots, burial in a VA National Cemetery, or reimbursement for funeral expenses. 

We know that you and your family are going through a very difficult time, and we take our responsibilities very seriously as a result. We will go to great lengths to assure that your loved one is treated the right way and with a great deal of respect. It goes without saying that we owe our nation’s veterans nothing less.
