Bury A Hero

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Kays-Ponger & Uselton and Lemon Bay Funeral Homes and Cremation Services along with Missing In America Veteran’s Recovery Program (www.miap.us) have partnered with each other to provide dignity, honor and respect to all verified veterans.

Veterans have served our country and they expected an honorable military burial and recognition by our government for their commitment to our nation.  Some Veteran ashes have not received final placement or have been stored temporarily by their family. 

If you or a family member would like to relinquish custodial responsibility and have your loved one buried with full military honors, we would invite you to consider joining our “Bury A  Hero” project.

Together Kays-Ponger & Uselton and Lemon Bay Funeral Homes and Cremation Services and the Missing In America Project will verify veteran’s status and schedule a burial of the ashes with full military honors at the Sarasota National Cemetery. 

If you or a family member have discovered a loved ones ashes and would like verification of veteran status, please contact Kays-Ponger & Uselton and Lemon Bay Funeral Homes and Cremation Services at 941-639-1133/941-625-4113/941-493-4900/941-474-5575.
