Honor Bell Foundation

Honor Bell Foundation, Inc. is a Colorado nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation based in Denver. Its primary purpose is to provide a unique funeral honor for deceased military veterans through the slow ringing, known as tolling, of a ceremonial bell. The foundation also provides veteran outreach and community education. To accomplish this mission, the Foundation produced the Honor Bell and renders “Bell Honors” at the funerals of U.S. military veterans and personnel killed in action to augment the dignity and respect that should be paid to those that have served our nation. In addition, the bell attends public events with a military or patriotic theme, and tolls in a memorial capacity. The foundation’s volunteers also attend programs in schools to educate young people about the significance of dignity, honor and respect owed to our military and fallen heroes.

Throughout history, our nation has been blessed with good fortune. Over the years, our fellow citizens have courageously defended our communities as members of the armed services. Whether on land, at sea, or in the air, our military members have made significant sacrifices to uphold the American ideal. The Honor Bell renders honors at the end of a veterans funeral. We are the only one in the nation and are primarily at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver.
