Housing Families With Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas
Every loved one deserves an exceptional farewell. Palm Mortuaries creates funerals and cremation memorials treasured by all who attend. We also support the communities where we live and work. That’s why we’re a proud sponsor of FOX5 Super Build 2021-22, helping to give a veteran family a brand-new home.
Since 1927, Palm Mortuaries has been a vital part of the Las Vegas community. Caring for families is the reason we go to work each day, and when we learned about the opportunity to join with FOX5 and Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas to give a veteran family a home, we knew we wanted to get involved.
Work has already begun on a home that will be move-in ready next year. In the months ahead, we'll roll up our sleeves and put on our hard hats as the Super Build crew works toward completion in the spring of 2022. This house we'll build will not only provide affordable living to this deserving family but also accommodate their son’s special needs. Handing over the keys will truly be a life-changing gift.
It's an honor to serve those who have served this country. We do so every year through the dignified military funerals and burials we provide—this year we're doing a little extra.
