Veterans Services
Those who served our country deserve a farewell worthy of their sacrifice. Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home is honored to serve Midcoast Maine's veterans and their families — handling the benefits, documentation, and military honors that recognize a lifetime of service.
Military Honors, Rendered With Dignity
Eligible veterans are entitled to military funeral honors, including the folding and presentation of the United States flag and the playing of Taps. We coordinate with the appropriate branch of service and local honor guards so these traditions are carried out with the reverence they deserve.
Navigating Veterans Benefits
VA benefits can include a burial allowance, a government headstone or marker, a burial flag, and interment in a national cemetery. The paperwork can feel overwhelming in a time of grief — our staff prepares and files the necessary documentation on your family's behalf.
Remembering Those Who Served
From patriotic tributes and displays of medals and service memorabilia to lasting remembrance among the veterans we have been privileged to serve, we help families honor a veteran's service to our nation in every part of the ceremony — and beyond it.
