All Veterans with an honorable discharge may be entitled to:
Free burial space for Veteran, spouse and dependent children in a National Cemetery. Our local Veterans Cemetery is the South Florida National Cemetery, Lake Worth, Florida.
In addition to the free grave space, a free grave marker (headstone) is also provided by the Veterans National Cemetery.
Veterans are also provided with a free American Flag. This flag, if chosen, may be presented during the Military graveside ceremony.
The family of the military veteran is also provided with a Presidential Memorial Certificate. This is an engraved document, signed by the current President written to the family to recognizing the service of the Veteran.
