Program:

When a veteran passes, there are important benefits their family may be entitled to—but many don’t know where to start. In this episode, we’ll explain the Memorial Honors program and the full range of VA burial benefits available for service-connected and non-service-connected deaths.

We’ll cover funeral and burial allowances, eligibility for national cemeteries, and what to expect if your loved one passes at a VA facility. Plus, we’ll walk through lesser-known honors like presidential certificates, memorial headstones, and burial flags.

Main Topics Covered:

  • VA funeral & burial allowance (service-connected and non-service-connected)

  • National Cemetery eligibility (veterans & dependents)

  • What happens if a veteran passes at a VA facility

  • Available honors: flags, headstones, markers, medallions, and more

  • Presidential Memorial Certificates

This live webinar will include a live question and answer session.  Subscribe to the OPPS4VETS Youtube Channel to get notified when this event goes live

A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.

SWVBRC is a 501(c)3 non Profit Organization Federal Tax ID# 26-2675027
