Veteran Funeral Services

Many of us take our freedom for granted, but our staff at Tommy Jarman Funeral Services proudly acknowledges the sacrifices made by those who have served our country.

Our staff is committed to providing quality service and professional assistance to help families with the documents required to successfully submit a funeral benefit claim at the Ministry.

One of the programmes of the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs (MoDVA), Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA),

is to ensure that deceased veterans of the National Liberation Struggle of Namibia are buried in a decent and dignified manner.

Cabinet approved that relatives of deceased veterans may request for assistance towards the funeral costs

What are the benefits

Cabinet approved that the assistance towards the burial of a veteran, may not exceed N$10 000.00 per burial service. Furthermore, Cabinet directed that veterans who at the time of death were in receipt of a social grant, may only be assisted with the difference in amount of the N$10 000.00. Any amount in excess will be borne by the funeral assistance applicants.

Who qualifies for the benefits?

Registered Veterans

Applying for veteran funeral benefits

Funeral assistance is not an entitlement and must be applied for before the burial, thus funeral services cannot be rendered prior to such approval.
Applicants are expected to apply in writing to the Executive Director of the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs and attach all relevant documents required.
