These contracts involve comprehensive services including pickup, transportation, storage, and processing of veteran remains across various facilities such as VA medical centers, nursing homes, hospitals, funeral homes, cemeteries, and morgues. All of the company's federal contract awards have been unrestricted, without any specific small business set-aside designations. The contracts are typically structured as firm fixed-price purchase or delivery orders, demonstrating Woodland Funeral Chapel's ability to provide consistent, reliable services to support the VA's mission of honoring and caring for deceased veterans.

In October 2024, Woodland Funeral Chapel was awarded a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the VA Veterans Health Administration, valued at $1,000,000 with a potential total contract value of $5 million through September 2029. This single-award IDC covers transportation, storage, and processing of deceased veterans' remains for the VA Northern California Healthcare System. The contract includes specific requirements for timely transportation, storage, cremation, and disposition of veterans' remains, with performance standards that ensure high-quality service.
