Veterans Who Choose to be Cremated

Cremation Center of Southern Utah • November 5, 2025

Veterans who choose to be cremated are entitled to benefits for the burial of cremated remains.

Available at no cost to the family, Veterans burial benefits include a gravesite or niche space for the cremated remains in any of the 157 national cemeteries, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a headstone/grave marker, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate.

A Veteran is also entitled to an honor guard consisting of service members (retired or active duty) that fold and present the flag, play taps, and occasionally perform a gun salute.

We are honored to serve our Veterans. Please contact us at (435) 986-9100 for more information.
