Not everyone likes to plan ahead, but preplanning your funeral arrangements not only gives you peace of mind about your final wishes being honored, but alleviates some of the stress and burden your loved ones are going through as they experience the grief associated with the loss. The staff of T.L. REDMON FUNERAL HOME are happy to assist you with your funeral preneed by helping you make decisions about your funeral service in advance and guide you in helping eliminate some of the unnecessary stress brought on by a loved one’s death. Secure Online Preplanning Form START PLANNING Benefits of Preplanning Let Your Wishes Be Known Lets Your Wishes Be Known The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled. Peace of Mind Peace of Mind Our staff will carry out the arrangements you want, just as you directed. Once the plans have been arranged, you and your family can rest easy knowing at the time of death, those uncomfortable decisions have been made. In a time when a family should be able to grieve, preplanning allows for that to happen. Flexible Spending Options Flexible Funding Options When you preplan your funeral arrangements, there are more options when it comes to funding the funeral. A preneed insurance policy, life insurance policy or other payment options can all be arranged before the time of death. At the time of death, services must be paid in full, so having options ahead of time can also reduce other stress related to losing someone. Relieves The Burden From Family Relieves The Burden From Family Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death. Those stressful decisions on top of the stress of grieving a loss can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time. If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner. Common Questions about Preplanning What steps are involved in prearranging a funeral? The first step would be to write down your wishes. Indicate if you would prefer burial or cremation. Write down your ideas for the service you would like, cemetery choice, etc. If you've made those choices, or even if you're unsure, schedule a time to meet with one of our funeral directors who can explain the different service options, merchandise choices, as well as the different ways to pay for the funeral. What information do I need to prearrange a funeral? You'll need basic information about yourself or the person you are planning for, such as date of birth, marital status, parent's full names, etc. Besides the biological information, you'll need to choose burial or cremation, what type of service you'd like, what cemetery to use, etc. Our caring staff will help you with this process. Do I have to pay in advance? Preplanning is merely making your wishes known; however, most families who do this also choose to pre-fund their funeral. Doing so will relieve the financial burden on your family and offer peace of mind to you. Cleveland Location Ruleville Location Copyright © T.L. REDMON FUNERAL HOME. All Rights Reserved.

Veterans Services

Veterans Services What are VA burial benefits and memorial items? The VA burial benefits are designed to assist service members, veterans, and their families in planning and paying for a burial or memorial service in a VA national cemetery. Memorial items are provided through the Veterans Affairs to honor the service of those who have served the country. Who qualifies for burial benefits and burial in a national cemetery? Veterans, service members, spouses, and dependents may be eligible for burial in a VA national cemetery, as well as other benefits, if they meet one of the requirements listed below: A veteran who didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge. A service member who died while on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training. The spouse or minor child of a veteran, even if the veteran died first. In some cases, the unmarried adult dependent child of a veteran. What are military funeral honors and a committal service? Military funeral honors include the playing of “Taps,” a rifle detail, a color guard, and uniformed service members who properly fold and present the United States flag to the grieving family. These flags are typically given to the deceased’s next of kin or close friend. For the survivors to qualify to receive the burial flag, the veteran or reservist must be described by at least one of the following: Served in wartime. Died while serving on active duty after May 27, 1941. Served after January 31, 1955. Served in peacetime and left military service before June 27, 1950, after serving at least one enlistment or because of a disability that was caused - or made worse - by their active military service. Served in the Selected Reserves, or served in the military forces of the Philippines while in service of the United States, and died on or after April 25, 1951. What are burial benefits and how do I apply? The veteran death benefits help cover the burial, funeral, and transportation costs associated with the deceased’s services and disposition. For those being buried in a national cemetery, survivors can receive assistance with the burial and funeral costs, the plot or internment, and the transportation of the veteran’s remains for burial. You must file a claim for a non-service-connected burial allowance within two years after the veteran’s burial or cremation. There is no time limit to file for a service-connected burial, plot, or interment allowance. You can apply online at https://www.va.gov/burials-and-memorials/application/530/introduction or by mail after completing the VA Form 21P-530. Eligible Veterans and service members may qualify for memorial items provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, including headstones, markers, burial flags, and certificates. Learn more about available items and eligibility at https://www.va.gov/burials-memorials/memorial-items/ The Department of Veterans Affairs also provides a headstone for unmarked graves of an eligible deceased veteran at no charge. To request a headstone, grave marker, or niche marker, fill out the VA Form 10-1330 and send to:Department of Veterans Affairs5109 Russell RoadQuantico, VA 22134-3909 For more information regarding VA burial benefits and memorial items, visit https://www.va.gov/burials-memorials/ or contact the VA office at 1-800-827-1000.
