Funeral Assistance

Providing timely assistance to grieving families during the immediate aftermath of their tragic loss.

Honoring Loved Ones With Dignity and Compassion

When a Veteran or 1st Responder dies by suicide, their families face unimaginable grief, which is often compounded by the overwhelming stress of planning a funeral or memorial service.

We provide immediate financial assistance and compassionate support to help families honor their loved ones with dignity, without the added burden of unexpected costs.

The Importance of Timely Funeral Assistance

In the days following a tragic loss, families are faced with urgent decisions about funeral arrangements. These decisions can feel overwhelming, especially when there are financial limitations.

Without support, families may feel pressured to make rushed or difficult choices. BEACON helps ease these burdens, allowing families to focus on remembering and celebrating their loved one’s life.
