Veterans Burial Benefits
Green Lawn Cemetery has long honored our nation's Veterans. Seven military sections provide an honorable resting place for over 6000 U.S. Veterans including five Medal of Honor recipients.
Green Lawn Cemetery is the only cemetery in Franklin County, Ohio that offers a free grave space to Veterans.
This free Veteran's space can be used to bury a cremation urn or a casket.
Benefits of choosing Green Lawn Cemetery include:
- A free grave space (Franklin Co. Veterans Services Commission)
- A free marker (U.S. Veterans Affairs)
- Free grave marker installation (Franklin Co. Veterans Services Commission)
- One-on-one guidance with a trained Family Service Counselor to take advantage of all your benefits, both pre-need with affordable payment terms and at-need
Costs the family is responsible for:
- A casket or cremation urn
- Outer burial container (vault). Required for caskets and cremation urns.
- Open and closing of the grave
If a Veteran prefers to be buried in a private space that is not in a designated Veterans section, Green Lawn Cemetery will apply a financial credit to the purchase of that space.
