Veterans Burial Benefits and Funeral Planning
Ryan Schmidt, an owner of Schmidt Funeral Home in Brookshire and Bellville, is a graduate of West Point and a proud military veteran. With his background and experience, he and his team at Schmidt understands the importance of honoring those who have served our country.
Veterans and their families may be eligible for burial benefits at no cost through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These benefits can help reduce the financial burden during a difficult time while ensuring veterans receive the honor and respect they deserve.
Key Veterans Burial Benefits Include:
• Burial Allowance
o Financial assistance paid by the VA to help cover funeral and burial expenses.
• Interment at a National Cemetery
o Includes the gravesite, opening and closing of the grave, and perpetual care for the veteran and eligible family members.
• Headstone or Grave Marker
o A government-provided headstone, grave marker, or medallion to properly mark the veteran’s resting place.
• Burial Flag with Military Honors
o A U.S. flag for draping the casket, which is then folded and presented to the veteran’s next of kin.
o Includes the playing of Taps and, if eligible, a military gun salute.
• Presidential Memorial Certificate
o A certificate signed by the President of the United States, honoring the veteran’s service.
How Schmidt Funeral Home Can Help:
• Assistance with filing and applying for VA burial benefits
• Guidance through every step of funeral planning
• Compassionate, professional care for veterans and their families
Plan Ahead
Planning ahead ensures your wishes are honored, eases the burden on your loved ones, and allows families to fully access the benefits available. Schmidt Funeral Home is here to help you navigate this important process with dignity and respect.
