“My family and I want to express our appreciation to Julie and Milton for their help and guidance in planning my mother's memorial service. We also had only positive feed-back from those who attended. We especially appreciated Milton’s guidance and help during the service. All went as we had hoped, the facilities were outstanding, the slideshow and music played smoothly, and the floral arrangement and lighting were beautiful. The whole family felt very comfortable before, during, and after the service. We also wanted to thank the staff for their help during the interment of my mother's ashes earlier in the year.”

“We randomly found Alexander White Mullen while getting Starbucks across the street. We were very sad and stressed loosing our dad unexpectedly. When we walked in we were greeted warmly. We met with Julie and right away felt safe going though this difficult process with someone who listened and wanted to support our vision of the celebration we wanted to create for celebrating dad’s life. All the details we expressed were important were executed professionally. They even helped us stay within our budget. We really appreciated the support and planning we received. I’d highly recommend working with Julie. She was amazing.”
How to request military funeral honors
By law (10 U.S.C. § 1491), an eligible veteran's funeral can include, on request, an honors detail of at least two service members who fold and present the U.S. flag to the family and play Taps. The funeral director usually makes the request and will need the veteran's DD214 or other discharge papers.
VA suggests asking at least 48 to 72 hours before the service. More on what honors include and how to request them.
