URGENT Need For Donations - Please Support Our Veterans Today
Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
When we started the organization, we funded the endeavor ourselves for veterans all across the United States. We have had several gracious donors help us out but it was not nearly enough. Thanks to a generous grant from the Alabama Power Foundation, as of May 1, 2024, we able to provide urns for veterans who lived or served in Alabama only. For us to continue the mission nationwide, we need you to share our request for funding with friends, relatives, and businesses.
We understand that the VA does not cover the full cost of cremation and some veterans may not have had life insurance or other resources to cover the cost of cremation. As our resources allow, we can accept requests to help cover crenation costs on a case-by-case basis. If we cannot help with the cremation, every Alabama veteran is still eligible to receive a free cremation urn.
Recognizing the financial burdens associated with cremation services and the rising trend of cremations, Free Urns for Vets stands as a bridge between veterans and the end-of-life services they deserve.
No current or former service member should be denied an honorable farewell
due to financial constraints or lack of immediate family.
We are a non-profit organization registered with the Alabama Secretary of State. We are managed by a Board of Directors and our 501(c)(3) status is pending.
Absolutely not. No strings. No cost to them. Our organization was started and continues to operate because veterans have been fighting for our rights for more than 200 years now. They gave freely so we can be free. Providing a dignified urn at no cost to the family is the least we can do.
Sure, just provide us a copy of the obituary announcement that states his/her military service or a letter/email from a funeral home or crematorium.
We pay for shipping in the United States and its territories.
