Southeast Texas veterans are our brothers, fathers, sons, and spouses.

The big brother who went to a land far away and never came home, the new husband shipped out right after the wedding night gone for so long counting down the days to be with his bride but never making it home, the WWII veteran who came home and has lived a long life but it’s finally come to a close.. these are all veterans who deserve dignity and honor at the end.

And the Dignity Memorial providers at Forest Lawn Funeral Home Beaumont ensure the get it.

Forest Lawn is a Beaumont funeral home that understands that providing military honors is the ceremonial way for us to pay respect and show gratitude for all the sacrifices made by Southeast Texas veterans who so honorably served our nation.

At Forest Lawn Funeral home in Beaumont, everyone on staff is extremely proud and honored to help veterans plan services that include military funeral honors.

Military funeral honors is a tradition that goes back to ancient Greek and Rome. The funeral honors protocol Forest Lawn assists in providing Southeast Texas veterans today is rooted in those ancient Greek and Roman traditions with a touch of the American historical experience as well.

U.S. law now mandates military funeral honors be provided for any eligible veteran if requested by the family, provided at no cost by the Department of Defense.

The professionals at Forest Lawn Funeral Home Beaumont will be happy to help Golden Triangle veterans and their families when requesting military funeral honors. Dignity Memorial has designed a special book to help you called The Veterans Planning Guide that a professional from Forest Lawn Beaumont funeral planning specialist would be honored to go over with you.

Military funeral honors are an amazing ceremony to be a part of. When a veteran is eligible, an honor guard consisting of not less than two members of the Armed Forces will be provided. With at least one member of the guard representing the branch of the deceased. The honor guard has the duty and honor of also performing the ceremony of folding the flag and presenting it to the family.

Many Southeast Texas veterans would like Taps played at their funeral. There are so few buglers available anymore that a recording can be provided or Forest Lawn will help locate a local musician.

Pre-arranging your Southeast Texas funeral service, can help ensure that there is a great bugler available for your service.

It is the goal of everyone at Forest Lawn to provide the highest level of quality, dignity and honor for our Southeast Texas veterans.

Eligible veterans include military veterans on active duty, military retirees, members and former members of the Selected Reserves, and eligible U.S. veterans of any war. To find out full eligibility details contact a member of our professional Dignity Memorial team at Forest Lawn.
