Veteran's Benefits
Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center is a proud member of the Veterans Memorial Project. The Veterans Memorial Project (VMP) seeks to educate, inform and advise military service members of the burial benefits for which they are eligible. The VMP supports funeral homes across the United States to verify that correct information is being disseminated to veterans and their families so that they may realize the full benefits available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Members of the Veterans Memorial Project make available a Funeral and Memorial Planning Guide to military service members and their families at no charge. The guide serves as a complete record of final wishes, vital statistics, record of accounts and more critical information required to be available upon a person’s passing.
