Planning a Military Service

If you are someone who lost a loved one who served in the military, there are some tips Bartlett-Heritage Funeral Home have for planning a military service.

One of the things that you have to do before you can make any arrangements is to ensure that you have the proof that your loved one served in the military. People will ask for proof and there is paperwork that you can present. If that is something that you do not know how to do, it can be a good idea to ask a funeral director for help.

It can also be a good idea to include information on your loved one’s service in their obituary. This is something that can let people know your loved one served. You can include what branch they served, how long they served, and whether they received any honors for their service. If you have a picture of your loved one in uniform, you can also include that in the obituary.

Many people choose to have a loved one who served in the military buried in a cemetery for veterans. That is important to consider. There are these kinds of cemeteries all over the country and that means that you can always find a space for your loved one. If you do want to have your loved one buried in this kind of cemetery, be sure that you let the VA know about it as soon as possible so they can reserve a spot.
