Ideas for Remembering Our Veterans

Our nation’s veterans are loved and respected by everyone. It does not matter who you are or where you come from, you respect what they have done for us. They are the ones who were on the front lines defending our liberties and freedoms. We are forever in their debt. So, when they pass, we want to honor them in the best way possible. How can we do that? Here are some ideas for remembering our heroes:


  • Military Display: As a part of their memorial service, you can display medals, pictures, and uniforms to celebrate and honor their service to our country.

 

  • Uniform: Burying a veteran in their service uniform is a great way to highlight how proud they were to have served our country.

 

  • American Flag: Typically, an American flag is draped over the casket of any military veteran. You can work with the funeral director to ensure that there will be a flag. A flag ceremony can also be held.

 

  • Special Guest Book: All funerals and memorial services tend to have guest books. They are used to write well wishes to the family. For a veteran’s memorial service, the guest book can be made with a special crest, symbol, or symbol that honors their service.

 

  • Donate to Their Favorite Charity: Veterans tend to be proud of their service. They want to help their fellow veterans in any way they can. This typically is in the form of a charity such as Wounded Warriors, Homes For Our Troops, K9s for Warriors, and more. You can honor them by having people who attend the funeral donate to their favorite charity.
