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.
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.
Funeral assistance is available to immediate family members—such as spouses, children, or dependent relatives—of Veterans or 1st Responders who have died by suicide.
We make the process as simple and fast as possible during this difficult time:
Reach Out to BEACON: Start by contacting us through our secure online form.
Provide Documentation: A DD214 (for Veterans) or proof of service for 1st Responders may be required.
Receive Financial Assistance: Funds are processed quickly to help with urgent expenses.
