HOUSTON, Nov. 11, 2016 -- This Veterans Day, Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI), North America’s largest provider of funeral and cemetery services, and its brand, Dignity Memorial, continue their ongoing commitment to honor those serving our country through the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program.
Since 2000, Dignity Memorial, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, along with local government agencies, have combined resources to honor and provide care for more than 2,500 forgotten veterans across the United States. The Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial Program serves eligible homeless and indigent veterans, providing a full burial ceremony with military honors in a VA Cemetery or a Dignity Memorial network cemetery in 32 states across the country. On March 30, 2016, the company participated in the nation’s largest full military honors service for 42 unclaimed veterans in Phoenix, AZ.
The program is one of many initiatives of the Dignity Memorial network that honor and support our nation’s veterans and active military. Other programs include the Veterans Planning Guide, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall, educational veterans’ seminars and discounts for members of veterans’ service organizations.
The company’s commitment to serving veterans is so strong, the Dignity Memorial network became the Founding Community Partner of the We Honor Veterans program, a collaboration of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Our Dignity Memorial providers serve more veterans than any other funeral service provider in the country,” said Michael R. Webb, President and Chief Operating Officer at SCI. “It is our great privilege to celebrate and honor members of the military through our veterans programs and is a small way to thank them and their families for their service and sacrifice for our country.”
