Bob Welch and Michael Heilman, funeral directors of Welch Funeral Home, Ford City, announced today that their firm has been selected to become an exclusive, certified Veterans & Family Memorial Care Provider. VFMC Providers are family owned & operated. They are selected for upholding the highest level of ethical business standards and integrity while providing outstanding, affordable professional service. The staff at Welch Funeral Home are experts in assisting families with all aspects of the final arrangement process. They work closely with all Veterans Service Organizations and local Hospices. The government does an excellent job providing veterans and their spouses with burial benefits if you use a Veterans National or State cemetery, however there are very limited benefits for the funeral or cremation arrangements. Bob and Michael have demonstrated a willingness and commitment to reach out to veterans and their familiesby extending benefits and savings beyond those provided by the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs.This includes a preneed discount of 10% off services and merchandise to veterans and their spouses, as well as a complimentary wood and glass flag case to the surviving spouse of a veteran who has pre-arranged via the VFMC program.
