Cremation for Veterans
Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home & Cremation Services supports our troops and respect the sacrifices made by veterans and their families. We also work very closely with National Cemeteries across Texas to coordinate all the valuable earned benefits available to veterans.
The men and women who serve our country represent the very best of all of us, and through their courage and commitment, they keep our nation safe and free.
We are honored to help families of veterans, working to ensure that all veterans receive the honors earned through their service. We offer funerals with military honors, coordination of earned benefits, and special cemetery discounts.
