Veterans Services

We truly believe that the men and women who answered our nation’s call embody the ideals Americans hold so dear. Because they have proven their devotion to their fellow citizens and to a grateful nation, we all owe them the same respect and devotion in return.

It is an honor and a privilege for Distinctive Life to serve America’s heroes by providing a full range of service options for veterans and active duty military, as well as first responders. We have planned and managed a number of funeral services involving coordination with U.S. military branches along with local, state, and national government officials and the media. Whether your heroes’ service is a small, intimate graveside service or a high-profile, large-scale funeral service involving hundreds or even thousands of mourners, Distinctive Life stands ready to help your loved one’s family and friends honor and celebrate their life in a respectful and meaningful way.

Coordinating Veterans Benefits

Coordinating Veterans Benefits

Distinctive Life’s extensive expertise providing funeral services for active duty military/veterans means we know how to guide the planning process to ensure you and your family receive all the benefits earned by your loved one. Unfortunately, veteran benefits will not cover all funeral arrangements, so Distinctive Life will help you understand what is covered and help plan for the details that are not. Whether arranging a burial at a national cemetery, private cemetery, or planning a simple memorial service, our experienced funeral directors understand veterans benefits and will plan accordingly for details including application for a United States burial flag and coordination with military personnel.

To learn more about how we can help you plan a veteran’s funeral service, contact us today.
