Free Urns for Veterans only accepts urn requests from current Minnesota Veterans within 1 year from the date of death. 

 When a Minnesota Veteran dies, families/loved ones can contact Free Urns for Veterans. The following 3 items are required: 

• A completed urn request form.  If you would like to request an urn, please download the urn request form document from the link below. Email or mail completed urn request form to Free Urns for Veterans.
• A copy of the Veteran’s discharged paper, ie DD-214 or other approved discharge papers. We use the same requirement as the Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans who have met minimum active service duty and who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. For the Department of Veterans Affairs eligibility requirements click here>> Eligibility for Burial in a National Cemetery. (NOTE: For security purposes, if the DD-214 or other approved discharge papers contain the Veteran's Social Security number, please make sure that the number is blacked out.)
• A copy of the Veteran's death certificate. (When certificate becomes available.)

For more information on eligibility requirements: Call 612-991-4608 or email free.urns@gmail.com
 
Disclaimer:
Free Urns for Veterans will do our best to have the urn mailed within 48 hours after all required information is received. Delivery times will vary depending on delivery location and dates. We are unable to accept requests for Veterans who did not reside in the State of Minnesota at the time of death. We apologize for any inconvenience.
