Stocking for Soldiers

As we begin the holiday shopping season, remember our troops and send them a little taste of home for the holidays. We are proud to be one of the nearly 1000 Veterans & Family Memorial Care providers across America that are participating in the 10th annual VFMC Christmas Stocking for Soldiers initiative.

From now thru December 1st please stop into the funeral home and pick up a free Christmas Stocking to take home, decorate and stuff with Christmas Cheer.  

Not enough time to pick up the stocking before? Bring your items and we will stuff the stocking for you.

We will then ship the stockings at our expense to troops in time for the holidays. Please return by December 1st to be included.

We are blessed in the United States to be protected by our military personnel whose sacrifices keep us and the world safe and secure. Sending our heroes some good tidings and holiday cheer is a great way for us to show our support and appreciation.

We have sent stockings to troops around the world. If you know of a service person abroad, please call us with their name and address to be the contact person to receive stockings for the troops.
