At Peaceful Rest Funeral Chapels & Cremations, we stand in awe of the unwavering commitment and courage displayed by the brave men and women who have served our country and community. Their selflessness and dedication inspire us daily, and it is our privilege to ensure their ceremonies and memory are etched in time indicative of their noble spirit. Our team of compassionate professionals is here to guide you every step of the way, providing the utmost care and attention to detail in crafting a farewell that truly reflects the honor and bravery of your beloved hero.

 

Commemorating Valor

Whether it's a traditional military ceremony with full honors or a customized service that embraces their unique passions, we strive to create a heartfelt farewell that resonates with the essence of their character. Duty to our Veterans and Heroes is arranged for Military Veterans and those serving as Police Officers, Firefighters, Medical Responders. Honor, respect, reverence and solemnity are the prime focus for our team. Our Veterans and heroes are honored no matter the services or type of final disposition arranged.

 

We Handle the Details

As a symbol of our deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by our military members, we meticulously arrange military honors, flag presentations, and honor guard ceremonies that leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all who attend. Each detail is thoughtfully considered, and every gesture is infused with gratitude and respect.

 

A Sacred Resting Place  

For families choosing burial, we offer our Military & Hero specialists’ arrangement of burial at a National Cemetery, Veterans’ Cemetery or burial at a Private Cemetery. The coordination and arrangement for Veterans’ burial is handled with the utmost care by our Military & Hero Specialists. 

 

Preserving the Spirit 

For those who prefer cremation, our offerings include specialized military-themed memorials and personalized urns that capture the essence of their service. Each element is crafted with care, allowing their spirit to soar and their memory to remain forever etched in our hearts. While burial in a grave may not be the wish, our heroes still deserve the honors and all that may come with a traditional funeral and burial service.
