Founded on the belief that every veteran deserves a dignified and honorable burial, our Homeless Veterans Burial Program is a cooperative effort among Dignity Memorial funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veteran Service Organizations, local medical examiners, coroners and other veteran's advocates. So far, the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program has provided burial services for more than 1,700 homeless veterans since the program’s inception.

Through this program, homeless and indigent veterans who have no family to claim them and who are identified as being discharged anything other than dishonorable, are provided with a proper military burial. Our Dignity Memorial locations provide preparation of the body, transportation, clothing, casket and coordination of the funeral service at no charge. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides eligible veterans with the opening and closing of the gravesite, a grave liner, a headstone or marker, a graveside ceremony and perpetual care in any VA national cemetery nationwide.
