Ceremony planned for burial of unclaimed veterans

Posted

At 10 a.m. on June 11, a ceremony will be held at Hilltop Cemetery for two military veterans and county residents who passed away in 2024 and whose remains were unclaimed by family members.

The veterans are Benjamin H. Warner, 73, and Roger Glenn Web, 73. 

The Town of Pagosa Springs has graciously donated a cemetery plot to be used to inter the cremated remains of the county’s unclaimed residents. 

The local Vets for Vets organization will be assisting with the ceremony. 

Honoring veterans in this way ensures they receive the respect and dignity they deserve, even in passing. 

The generosity of the town and the dedication of Vets for Vets show how deeply a community can care for those who served.

Your attendance is welcome.
