If there’s anything we know about Lubbock families, it’s how patriotic they are!

At Lake Ridge Chapel & Memorial Designers, we make honoring our veterans a priority, and we wish to help you plan a respectful funeral. We want our veterans and their family members to know when it comes to memorializing a soldier’s life, he or she deserves only the best.

Most veterans know they can be buried in one of the 155 national cemeteries with available space. Presenting your discharge papers is an important part of establishing your eligibility for burial in these cemeteries. For those veterans with loved ones in Lubbock, we have qualified staff ready to plan a respectful military service for our local heroes.

During a military funeral service, military men and women will honor the veteran with a burial flag and Presidential Memorial Certificate. The burial flag is generally given to next of kin. The U.S. government will provide the headstone or marker, and some veterans are even entitled to burial allowances, meaning partial reimbursement of an eligible veteran’s burial and funeral costs.

An important step in planning a veteran’s funeral is choosing the best way to pay tribute to your loved one’s life. At Lake Ridge Chapel & Memorial Designers, we offer many special touches to help you personalize the service, such as video tributes, receptions, and more. If you choose to hold a reception, we also offer in-house catering for small or large groups.

We can help you through all these steps and find out exactly what you are entitled to while planning a funeral for a veteran. We work with these wonderful families often and know the process well. For more information, you can contact our funeral home at any time.
