Young or old, a funeral is a difficult process. Military and non-military persons have different goals and expectations for end of life matters.

For example, selecting a specific ceremony based on our faith, identifying whether we want to be buried whole or cremated and selecting a location for our burial ground.
Additionally, you will find articles that address eulogies, military burial ceremonies, creditor claims and related issues and matters.
