Miscellaneous

Veterans

The Federal Government provides a grave marker for any veteran. Garland Brook has planned a way to install some type of veteran marker on every grave at no charge.

Different sections require different types, sizes and installation methods for veteran markers. We can help family choose the best type for their specific situation.

Do not assume veteran markers will be installed on the ground adjoining monuments or at the foot of the grave. Families are responsible for ordering the correct type of marker.

The order for a veteran marker must be checked, signed and filed by Garland Brook before the order is sent. Special types of installation options may require additional charges.

On Memorial Day, Garland Brook places a flag on the grave of veterans. Please tell us of your veteran.
