Burial Benefits for Veterans

We believe the story of every veteran's life deserves to be shared and we consider it an honor to assist families with veteran funeral services. Our extensive experience in serving veterans has made us familiar with the military traditions and regulations that make a veteran’s funeral unique.

Wreaths Across America

Each Year on the Second Monday in December at Eleven O’clock in the morning a wreath laying ceremony will be held on the steps of the Texas State Capital Building in Austin, while similar ceremonies occur at all of the other forty-nine Capitol Buildings across our country.

On the following Saturday (3rd Saturday in December), the national Wreaths Across America event will occur to honor veterans at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens in Irving while similar ceremonies occur at Arlington National Cemetery and over 1,100 other participating locations nationwide – a solemn tribute to those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Wreaths Across America story began in 1992 when the Worcester Wreath Company from Harrington, Maine initiated a tradition of donating and placing wreaths on the headstones of our nation’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. Worcester Wreath Company continues to be a major supporter of the project donating over 25,000 total wreaths each year. Over 100,000 wreaths will be sponsored by individuals, businesses and groups from communities nation-wide. Wreaths will be placed in all 50 states, at several locations in Iraq, and at 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil.

Oak Grove Memorial Gardens began working with the Wreaths Across America project in 2010 with over 300 wreaths donated that first year and placed on the graves of veterans buried throughout the cemetery. This year the ceremony will be held simultaneously with all of the cemeteries at 11:00 AM Central Time. After the ceremony some 2000+ (…please help us make this number MUCH higher) plus wreaths, all donated from individuals and local businesses, will be placed on the graves of the veterans throughout Irving cemeteries. 

Honoring Veterans is important. Thus, we are proud to be in partnership of this program to you and all of the families of veterans that our staff had the honor of serving this past year. In the event you would wish to participate by either purchasing a wreath(s); or attend the ceremony in a volunteer capacity, please contact Gary Lee Westerman at gwesterman@brownmem.com or call 972-254-4242.

We hope you consider participating in this community wide event of remembrance all with the Staff of Brown’s Memorial.
