He can be buried in the Veterans cemetary in Bushnell for free. I don't know the details, but they can assist you at the American Legion on Rolling Acres Rd.

I would suggest she talk to a reputable full service funeral home, like Beyers. Hey are a family run business and offer tremendous complimentary after death service and support. The can assist in arranging internment at the large military cemetery. They can arrange an appropriate non-religous military service.

Check out Baldwin Brothers.

The national cemetery at Bushnell is an impressive place. Not only do they provide the plot and actual burial, a group of retired, uniformed military provide the entire graveside service, including the “sermon”, bugler and ceremonial firing squad.

I’ve gone to funerals there where the procession of cars are lead from the local church or funeral home to the cemetery by a police escort. I think all the big local funeral homes know how to organize such a funeral.

Or a call to the national cemetery office itself would get the widow-to-be started in the right direction.

military honors are provided WHEN REQUESTED by family to funeral home. They will make all the arrangements. Beyers I’d a great funeral home and works very closely with all veterans organizations in the area.

Contact the VA administration and consider being placed at the National VA cemetery in Burnell Florida or any National Cemetery . It is close by and a beautiful cemetery. Plot and headstone provided to military service person and spouse can also be placed at no cost. And they provide nice service at grave site for military person.

Services are not graveside, they are in committal shelters. 30 mins is the allotted time

If you wish to arrange for full military honors, for veterans from all branches of the service, at a burial service at Florida National Cemetery The Marine Corps League in The Villages can assist. Feel free to contact me.

The least expensive place for a no frills direct cremation is Baldwin Brothers. If you want to use a funeral home, undoubtedly the best.place is Beyers.

You mean those from 1969 on , believe me that’s not old
