Veterans' Services

BONNEY WATSON is proud to have served Seattle-area veteran families for nearly six generations. Our directors will assist with VA paperwork and benefits, coordinate military honors, and arrange burials in our veteran gardens at Washington Memorial Park or the cemetery of your choice. Throughout this difficult process, we are here to provide guidance, compassion, and support.

Three smiling men stand together outdoors. Two wear military uniforms and hats, while the third wears a black jacket and cap. Enjoying the moment, they appear happy and relaxed, perhaps celebrating veterans services with green trees and a street behind them.

Burial at Washington Memorial Park

BONNEY WATSON’s Washington Memorial Park offers a full range of funeral and burial benefits for veterans and their families. The cemetery features two gardens designed specifically for veterans and provides options for both in-ground burial and above-ground urn placements. Washington Memorial Park also allows surviving family members and extended relatives to make arrangements for placement next to a veteran, whereas burial in a national cemetery is limited to veterans, their spouses, and dependent children.

POW/MIA Living Memorial Plaza

Washington Memorial Park is home to the POW/MIA Living Memorial Plaza. The unique monument features a 14-ton granite pyramid standing 10 feet tall. The adjacent Freedom Shrine displays 28 historical American documents photographically reproduced on aluminum. The Plaza was developed to remind all visitors that the freedoms Americans enjoy today are, in essence, a gift from the past: the product of idealism, determination, and the sacrifice of vast numbers of courageous men and women who served our country.

Each year in September, Washington State hosts a POW/MIA Recognition Day, which includes a ceremony at Washington Memorial Park’s Living Memorial Plaza.

My Family recently made funeral arrangements for our Mother. Tom, Jesse, and Brooks provided much compassion and care during the entire process. Every detail was taken care of and the day of the service went beautifully. Our family highly recommends BONNEY WATSON.

... Everything was seamless and I feel that the wishes of my loved one, who cannot speak for themselves any longer, were heard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooks and BONNEY WATSON. I'm grateful I have them now.

A grassy cemetery lawn with flat grave markers, tall evergreen trees, and a clear blue sky dotted with a few clouds offers a quiet contrast to bustling careers beyond its peaceful borders.
