Dear Commander and Members,

             Now your American Legion Post can save you money when the Veteran or spouse dies. Please send or bring in a copy of your DD-214 and a copy of your marriage license. The new National Cemetery has a crematory on premise, which is free. Upon death of the Veteran or spouse, the Post will call the National Cemetery (649-6489) and make all the arrangements. All the Veteran or spouse will have to pay for is transporting of the body. The Post needs a total of 5 copies of the Veteran’s DD-214.

1-     U.S. Flag

2-     National Cemetery

3-     Headstone

4-     File for death benefits

5-     Presidential Memorial Certificate

 

This is an easy process to help our Veterans. If you have any questions, call ma at (561) 422-6418

Attached is a form (40-0247) to obtain Presidential Memorial Certificates for our deceased Veterans and Legion Members. These Certificates are beautifully signed by the President and are suitable for framing. They make a Beautiful memory for our Deceased Veterans. The Certificates take about a Month to receive.
