Honoring Those Who Served · Dayton, Ohio
Veterans Services
Every service member deserves a farewell worthy of their sacrifice. We are honoured to serve our veterans and their families with full military honours, coordinated with precision and deep gratitude.
“We are proud to serve those who served us. Our team is trained in military funeral protocols and works directly with the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure every honour is rendered correctly and with the dignity it deserves.”
Marker & Heller — Veterans Program
Serving Those Who Served
Full Military Honors
A full military honours ceremony is the highest tribute the nation can bestow. We coordinate every element on your behalf — so you can be fully present for the farewell, rather than managing logistics.
- Ceremonial flag folding and presentation
- Rifle salute (three-volley salute) coordination
- Taps — live bugler or high-fidelity recording
- Honor Guard escort and pallbearer coordination
- Branch-specific uniform and insignia display
- Military chaplain arrangements upon request
Proudly Near Wright-Patterson
Our Huber Heights chapel is just minutes from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. We have long-standing relationships with base chaplains, honour guard units, and veteran service organisations in the Dayton community.
Whether your loved one was active duty, retired, or a veteran of any era — from World War II to today — we understand the protocols, the culture, and the deep meaning behind every ceremony.
Veterans Headstones & Markers
The Department of Veterans Affairs provides headstones, markers, and medallions at no cost to eligible veterans. We guide families through every step of the application process.
- Upright granite or marble headstones
- Flat bronze, granite, or marble markers
- Niche markers for columbarium placement
- Bronze medallions for private-purchase headstones
- Presidential Memorial Certificates
We submit the VA Form 40-1330 on your behalf and handle all correspondence with the Memorial Affairs division, including delivery and installation coordination with the cemetery.
Veterans Burial Flags
An American flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of eligible veterans. After the ceremony, it is carefully folded and presented to the next of kin as a lasting tribute.
Eligibility generally includes veterans discharged under honourable conditions, active-duty service members, and reservists who served a minimum period. We will verify eligibility for you.
Burial flags are requested through the VA using DD Form 214 (discharge papers). We obtain these directly from your nearest VA regional office — you should not need to make any separate requests.
Documents That Help
Having these documents on hand helps us coordinate benefits more quickly, but do not delay calling us — we can help identify and obtain them.
DD Form 214
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty — the primary document for most VA benefits.
VA Award Letter
If the veteran was receiving VA disability or pension payments, this confirms service-connected status.
Discharge Papers
Any official discharge documentation, including NGB Form 22 for National Guard members.
We Are Honoured
to Serve You
Call us any time — day or night. We will walk you through every option, handle all VA coordination, and make certain your veteran's final farewell reflects the honour they are owed.
