Veterans

Our Catholic Cemeteries wish to honor our veterans by encouraging families to have the graves, crypts, and niches of their beloved veterans memorialized with medallions or markers signifying their service to our nation. You must go through your cemetery office to place your order. This will ensure that the appropriate markers and medallions are ordered. Please visit or call one of our cemetery offices for assistance.

The Veteran Affairs Department website furnishes a bronze medallion that can be affixed to an existing privately purchased headstone, marker, crypt front or niche front for veterans interred in a private cemetery. The medallion is available in a few sizes. Each medallion is inscribed with the word VETERAN across the top and the branch of service at the bottom.

Visit the Department of Veteran Affairs and download VA order form 40-1330M. Please remember your completed form and necessary documentation must be forwarded to the cemetery office. The cemetery will verify the correct size medallion is being requested based on their cemetery regulations. The office manager will sign and forward the completed form and required documentation to the VA for processing. Our staff is here to help you and is happy to answer any questions.

Once the medallion is received, it will be installed as per cemetery regulations.

We are pleased to announce that some of our cemeteries offer a dedicated lawn section for our veterans. These special sections of our cemeteries allow veterans and their spouses to rest eternally while surrounded by their fellow service men and women and honored by the flag under which they defended our freedoms.
