Project No. 2500

The Last Post Fund’s mission is to ensure that no Veteran is denied a dignified funeral and burial, as well as a military gravestone, due to insufficient funds at the time of death.
 

Its primary mandate is to deliver the Veterans Affairs Canada Funeral and Burial Program which provides funeral, burial and grave marking benefits for eligible Canadian and Allied Veterans. The Unmarked Grave Program provides military markers for unmarked Veterans’ graves. In March 2019, the Indigenous Veterans Initiative was launched in an effort to commemorate and honour the memory of over 18,000 Indigenous Veterans, many of whom are thought to lie in unmarked graves.

 

The Last Post Fund owns and manages its own military cemetery, the Last Post Fund National Field of Honour, as well as supporting and promoting other initiatives designed to honour the memory of Canadian and Allied Veterans. A national non-profit organization, the Last Post Fund’s National office is located in Montreal, supporting the Provincial Boards across the country.

The Last Post Fund is supported financially by Veterans Affairs Canada and by private donations.
