"To honor and protect in death seems but a small return to those who have protected their country in life."

The Last Post Fund (LPF),

founded in 1909 in Montreal, Quebec, is a non-profit corporation whose purposes are to ensure, insofar as possible, that no war veterans or civilians who meet wartime service eligibility criteria are denied a dignified funeral and burial for lack of sufficient funds. Also their role is to provide funeral and burial benefits to wartime and peacetime disability pensioners who die either from a pensioned condition or a condition that can be related to a military service. In addition LPF provides grave headstones for war veteran graves that have been unmarked for more than five years.

The Last Post Fund operates in cooperation with, and is supported financially by Veterans Affairs Canada and by private donations.
The LPF has its National Office in MOntreal and Branch Offices in every province except Prince Edward Island which is administered by the New Brunswick Branch.
