Veteran Funeral Services


 

At Jacobs Funeral Homes, our staff is trained to handle the details of making burial and cremation arrangements for veterans and we are the only area funeral home to offer a Veteran's Plan. Did you know that military honors are available to all veterans regardless of rank or location of burial? And, were you aware that the military does not accept payment for these services under any circumstance?

 

To establish veteran eligibility you can have us obtain your DD 214 Form which is the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. For veteran's benefits you must have any status other than dishonorable discharge. For information about receiving this document, click the button below.
