Benefits

Social Security Administration

Social Security death benefits are only paid to a surviving spouse or dependent child. Visit their website for more information. Henne Family Funeral & Cremation Services notifies Social Security of every death on your behalf.

United States Railroad Retirement Board

The United States Railroad Retirement Board website is dedicated to those who retired from the railroad and the benefits available to the survivors. Henne Family Funeral & Cremation Services will notify the Board of your loved one's death.

Veterans Administration

The United States Government's website is dedicated to veterans and benefit qualifications. Every honorably discharged veteran is entitled to at a minimum of a burial flag, military honors by the branch they served in, a military grave marker, and burial in a National Cemetery (Arlington National Cemetery only allows certain Veterans, i.e., retired officers, soldiers killed in action, and so forth). A death benefit to cover burial and funeral expenses may or may not apply. Henne Family Funeral & Cremation Services will assist you in determining which benefits your loved one qualifies for and will assist in processing all of the forms required.
