We file VA marker applications, complement VA-furnished stones with private granite bases and military emblem medallions, and coordinate installation — at no markup on any VA benefit.
Eligible veterans — including those who served in peacetime — are entitled to a free government-furnished headstone or marker. We handle the application.
The paperwork is not complicated, but it requires specific forms and documentation. We have completed these applications many times and will walk your family through exactly what is needed. There is no charge for that help.
The VA-furnished marker will be delivered to us. We then arrange installation at the cemetery of your choice.
We complete and file the VA Form 40-1330 (and supplemental forms for specific situations) on your behalf. No charge for this service.
The VA provides the marker. We can add a custom granite base that elevates it, protects it from ground contact, and gives it a more finished presence at the grave site.
Branch emblems, combat badges, and service medals — cast in bronze and mounted to the marker or companion stone. All branches and eras served.
A companion granite monument alongside the VA-furnished stone — for a spouse, or simply to create a more complete memorial at the plot.
For families who prefer a privately-purchased bronze marker over the government-furnished stone — full customization of size, finish, and inscriptions.
A permanent bronze bracket affixed to the marker or base to hold a small veteran's flag — appropriate for most cemetery regulations.
"We have served veterans of every branch and every era. Their families deserve to have this done right."
