Tradition dictates that our fallen heroes are bestowed with the respect they have earned when they eventually succumb to their mortality. Whether this is in the line of duty or years after active duty has ceased, Serenity Funeral Home recognizes that veteran funeral services should be of the utmost importance to any funeral home.
Located in Boulder City,NV is the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery. This cemetery offers in-ground space for burials to accommodate those who desire to be preserved in casketed remains, as well as options for in-ground columbaria to oblige those who prefer to be cremated in their memorial.
As this is recognized as a Veterans Cemetery, the typical restrictions apply to those who wish to be buried within its confines. They must be a member of the armed services, although the branch they served under does not change their eligibility. All members who wish to be buried in the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery must have been discharged under any circumstance other than a dishonorable discharge. In addition to the service member, the spouse, widow, widower, minor dependent children, and, under special circumstances, adult children with disabilities may be buried in this cemetery.

This ceremonial paying of respect is the final demonstration a grateful nation can provide and it is our commitment to recognize the sacrifice and contributions of our nation’s veterans. By law, an honor guard detail for the burial of an eligible veteran consists of at least two members of the U.S. armed forces, and at least one member of the detail must be a representative from the deceased veteran’s service branch. The honor detail performs a ceremony that includes the playing of taps and the folding and presentation of the American flag to the next of kin. Your funeral director can help you request military funeral honors.
