Absolutely Effortless. Russell Lavender went above and beyond every step of the way. During a difficult time, we never worried about anything. Our family is grateful for everything the Neptune Society provided. I don’t know what we would have done without them.

What every veteran should know about cremation benefits
United States veterans are entitled to be buried or have their ashes interred in any National Cemetery that has available space at no charge. Currently, the Veterans Administration operates 125 national cemeteries, of which 65 are open for new casketed interments, and 21 are open to accept cremated remains only. Burial options are limited to those available at a specific cemetery but may include an in-ground casket or interment of cremated remains in a columbarium, the ground, or a scatter garden. The government runs these programs and benefits may change at any time.
