SCI and Dignity Memorial® Honor U.S. Armed Forces This Veterans Day
November 11 2016 - 10:00AM
This Veterans Day, Service Corporation International (NYSE:SCI),
North America’s largest provider of funeral and cemetery services,
and its brand, Dignity Memorial, continue their ongoing commitment
to honor those serving our country through the Dignity Memorial
Homeless Veterans Burial Program.
Since 2000, Dignity Memorial, the U.S.
Department of Veteran Affairs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, along
with local government agencies, have combined resources to honor
and provide care for more than 2,500 forgotten veterans across the
United States. The Dignity Memorial Homeless Veterans Burial
Program serves eligible homeless and indigent veterans, providing a
full burial ceremony with military honors in a VA Cemetery or a
Dignity Memorial network cemetery in 32 states across the country.
On March 30, 2016, the company participated in the nation’s largest
full military honors service for 42 unclaimed veterans in Phoenix,
AZ.
The program is one of many initiatives of the
Dignity Memorial network that honor and support our nation’s
veterans and active military. Other programs include the Veterans
Planning Guide, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall, educational
veterans’ seminars and discounts for members of veterans’ service
organizations.
The company’s commitment to serving veterans is
so strong, the Dignity Memorial network became the Founding
Community Partner of the We Honor Veterans program, a collaboration
of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Our Dignity Memorial providers serve more
veterans than any other funeral service provider in the country,”
said Michael R. Webb, President and Chief Operating Officer at SCI.
“It is our great privilege to celebrate and honor members of the
military through our veterans programs and is a small way to thank
them and their families for their service and sacrifice for our
country.”
