As a Level Four Founding Community Partner with We Honor Veterans, we are honored to serve our nation’s heroes and take this responsibility seriously. We have taken steps to ensure our staff is knowledgeable of all the benefits available to military veterans and their families.

In addition, we host community events annually in honor of our veterans and work closely with local veterans organizations. With respect, integrity and dignity, we will walk you through the steps of creating a veteran’s memorial service that truly honors the life and sacrifice of your loved one.

The Homeless Veterans Burial Program was founded in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, local medical examiners, coroners, veterans advocates, and veterans organizations on the belief that every veteran deserves a dignified and honorable burial. Through the program, homeless and indigent veterans who have no family to claim them are identified and provided with proper military burials.

In addition, the program offers counseling services to family members, as well as the opportunity to create an internet tribute as a loving memorial.

During our nondenominational Night of Remembrance, we celebrate the lives of those lost throughout the year. Guests enjoy sweet treats and seasonal music, and hang ornaments with the names and photos of loved ones on our tree and light candles in their honor. Community leaders from many religious doctrines join to provide their support.

The funeral home and cemetery teams are involved in many local and national organizations, such as the Northwest Valley Veterans Association, Sun City Rotary and American Diabetes Association.

We also extend an open invitation to anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to our grief support group. The group meets weekly and has been recognized for its effort to combat suicide among the elderly following loss.

"It is not easy to make arrangements when not prepared. Sunland's staff was kind, responsive, and caring from the first phone call through final arrangements. It was comforting knowing my father was in good hands."

"Maria, Judy and all the staff were so helpful, compassionate and kind during this difficult time. I had no idea what to do and they never pushed me and explained everything in detail. I felt as though they were a part of my family. They made all of us comfortable and we knew my husband was resting peacefully. I can't thank them enough for all they did. Wonderful, caring, loving people. Thank you so much!"
