Veteran's Farewell

A Fitting Solute to Those Who Served

At Moles Farewell Tributes we consider it a deep honor to care for veterans and their families. Our Veteran’s Farewell can be crafted to reflect a veteran’s unique life story, including their service to our country in the US Armed Forces.

Participants respectfully fold a flag during a memorial ceremony dedicated to veterans.

Two veterans display their medals and hold colorful flowers while sharing stories in a park.

Soldiers in uniform march in formation, demonstrating precision and discipline at a ceremony.

Small American flags are placed in neat rows across a green field, honoring a memorial occasion.

Veteran's Burial

Upon being granted an honorable discharge from military service for the United States of America, veterans are entitled to a grave space and burial in a National Cemetery. The nearest National Cemetery to many families we serve is Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Washington (about 130 miles south of Whatcom County). Frequently this distance poses a problem for the families we serve. Therefore, we are honored to offer the following services for veterans free of charge:

Grave space at Greenacres Memorial Park
Facilitation of free veteran’s memorial marker
Acquisition of veteran’s burial flag for family
Acquisition of presidential letter for survivors
Reconciliation of all benefits and entitlements for surviving family members
