Veterans Cremation Benefits

You have served our country, now let Neptune Society serve you

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.

At times of loss, it’s amazing to me how thoughtful and kind complete strangers can be. We found this true with the staff at the Neptune Society, while they’re going over all the information they were compassionate, helpful and loving. Thank you, Russell and staff.

Quick, polite, easy transaction. No haggling, I told them our family was in dire straights financially, and wanted only the bare minimum of cremation, and have the ashes returned to the family. I found these people to be professional and courteous. I was able to handle the details over the phone, from out of state, in 15 minutes, leaving my father-in-law with having only to drive over to fill out the paperwork. They also accepted payment from two different family members over the phone. Marsha and Christina are highly recommended by my family.

Carlos provided excellent customer service. He was knowledgeable, helpful and considerate throughout. Plus, he called me before I called him to alert me when the Death Certificates were delayed by the issuer, which I very much appreciated! Thank you, Carlos!
