Cremation for Veterans

Cremation for Veterans

Callaway-Jones is the first choice in the Brazos Valley area for veterans and their families.

If they prefer a veterans funeral at a local church or local cemetery, we will coordinate the military honors so that they are performed here instead of the VA Cemetery.


We also fully support veterans’ families, assisting with documents necessary to file for veterans funeral benefits.


They served us. Now we serve them…and their families.

In addition to having extensive experience with services for all branches of the military, our location is especially well suited to creating powerful memorials. Our unique video immersion wall can add powerful visuals to veteran services.


We are Veteran Cremation Specialists. Our nation’s veterans deserve special consideration, and special care. Our commitment: caring and respectful planning of military veterans cremations and veterans’ memorial services.


We specialize in providing military honors at veterans cremations. We coordinate with the VA scheduling office to arrange for burial at any VA Cemetery with Military Honors consisting of 21 gun salute, folding and presentation of the United States flag, and playing of Taps.

Veterans Funeral Benefits in a National Cemetery

Veterans Funeral Benefits include a gravesite in any of our 131 national cemeteries with available space, opening and closing of the grave, perpetual care, a Government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate, at no cost to the family. Some Veterans may also be eligible for Burial Allowances. Cremated remains are buried or inurned in national cemeteries in the same manner and with the same honors as casketed remains.



Burial benefits available for spouses and dependents buried in a national cemetery include burial with the Veteran, perpetual care, and the spouse or dependents name and date of birth and death will be inscribed on the Veteran’s headstone, at no cost to the family. Eligible spouses and dependents may be buried, even if they predecease the Veteran.


The Veterans family should make funeral or cremation arrangements with a funeral provider or cremation office. Any item or service obtained from a funeral home or cremation office will be at the family’s expense.

Preparing In Advance

Gravesites in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national cemeteries cannot be reserved in advance.


You should advise your family of your wishes and where your discharge papers* are kept. These papers are very important in establishing your eligibility.



At the time of need your family would contact our funeral home and we will assist them with making burial arrangements at the national cemetery. You may wish to make pre-need arrangements with us.

Donating Burial Flags in National Cemeteries

Most of the Department of Veterans Affairs national cemeteries display an Avenue of Flags on patriotic holidays and during special events. The Avenues consist of burial flags donated by the families of deceased Veterans and provide a unique visible tribute to all of our Nation’s Veterans.


A Certificate of Appreciation is presented to the donor for providing their loved ones’ burial flag to a national cemetery.



Please contact the cemetery of your choice for information on how to donate a Veteran’s burial flag.

Veterans Funeral Benefits in a Private Cemetery

Burial benefits available for Veterans buried in a private cemetery may include a Government headstone, marker or medallion, a burial flag, and a Presidential Memorial Certificate, at no cost to the family. Some Veterans may also be eligible for Burial Allowances. There are not any VA benefits available to spouses and dependents buried in a private cemetery.
