Thank You for Your Service

If your loved one is a veteran, we will make sure you receive any and all benefits. Our funeral home is proud to honor and pay tribute to veterans each and every day.

• Headstones and Markers — eligible veterans are provided a headstone or marker at no cost.
  
• Presidential Memorial Certificates — issued upon request to recognize the military service of honorably discharged deceased veterans.

Serving Our Veterans

We take pride in serving our veterans, and will assist families and non-local or out-of-state funeral directors to coordinate a burial for veterans who wish to be buried at Calverton National. McLaughlin Heppner Funeral Home also provides each veterans family with a wood flag display case at no charge to the family.
