At the Legion, we're here to stand by your family and pay tribute to your beloved Veteran.
At the wishes of the family, a Legion Branch may arrange a heartfelt Legion Tribute during the funeral or memorial service. The Poppy, Canada's symbol of Remembrance, plays a significant part in these services.
Reach out to your local Legion Branch to see what services or supports they may offer.
The Last Post Fund delivers the Veterans Affairs Canada Funeral
and Burial Program. This program provides funeral, burial and
grave marking benefits for eligible Canadian and Allied Veterans.
Its mission is to ensure that all Veterans receive a dignified
funeral and burial, as well as a military gravestone.
The Last Post Fund also supports other initiatives designed to
honour the memory of Canadian and Allied Veterans. It owns and
manages the National Field of Honour, a military cemetery, and
the Unmarked Grave Program provides military headstones and
inscriptions for unmarked Veterans’ graves.
For information on the Last Post Fund or to initiate an application, please contact the Last Post Fund.
