Proudly they've served with dignity and respect for our nation and for all of us. Whenever and wherever the need, our proud and brave Veterans have served with honor and courage. God bless our Veterans for their dedication and service.
In a time of need, when a Veteran sadly suffers a "Funeral Emergency" in their family, it's a time to give back. That's exactly what the Casper Family has done. We have created a special "Veterans Service Burial Program" for eligible Veterans, their spouse, minor or disabled dependents.
This is a program of thanks from the Casper Family for our Veterans. The cost for a Veteran's funeral varies greatly but none comes remotely close to our complete "Military Honors" $2,000 funeral service.
There is the option of getting "Complete Funding Assistance" for the $2,000.
Yes! The Department of Veterans Affairs provides the graveside, grave-liner, opening and closing of the grave, a headstone or marker and flag. However the veteran and their family are "On Their Own" for providing the remainder of the funeral service expenses. As Veterans and family members check around, they find that these funeral expenses can be very costly.
As for the VA Burial Benefits allowance of $300 (The VA grave allowance is only available if burial takes place in a private cemetery) the deceased Veteran must meet one of three conditions. 1) The Veteran must be receiving a pension from the military. 2) The veteran must be receiving disability from the military. 3) The Veteran must die in a VA facility.. If the Veteran doesn't meet one of these three conditions then... There is no VA burial allowance.
