This information and service is offered by us and by all funeral homes as part of their commitment to the community
"Honoring Those Who Served" is the title of the Dept. of Defense program
for providing dignified military funeral honors to veterans who have
defended our nation.
Upon a family's request, the law requires that every eligible veteran receive a military funeral honors ceremony to include folding and presenting of the U.S. burial flag and the playing of "Taps".
The law defines a military honors detail as consisting of two
or more uniformed military persons with at least one member of the
veteran's parent service of the armed forces. The Dept. of Defense
program calls for the funeral home to request military funeral honors on
behalf of the veteran’s family.
