“My mother in law, was received to your care, with service on 11-12-25. Robin was assisting the family when my father in law noticed her rings were missing. I spoke with Robin about this issue. She tracked the rings down at Union hospital. She made the drive to pick up the rings so my MIL could have them back. And she followed through! Back from the Terre Haute hospital, just st as the service was ending. Rings in place. My FIL was overwhelmed by this and the family thanks you so much Robin!!!”
“There are so many positive things I can say about the care my family and I were given through the hardest days of losing my sweet Daddy. The respect given when Mr. Jim and Bryant came to our home was felt by us all. Meeting with Mr. Jim and talking through the planning of the services, the beautiful execution of my father's military graveside service, and the support they have continued to give, in such a difficult time, is refreshing. Thank you so very much for honoring my father so well while caring for our family.”
“Jim and his staff did an amazing job with the preparation and presentation of my mother. They were all amazing in communication and dealing with the delicacy of her passing with my kids and made us all feel at home and cherished. God has definitely blessed this man and all who work for him with a compassion that many don’t have.”
“Jim and his staff were excellent during my grandpas viewing and funeral. They made him look so good. He looked so at peace and like the grandpa we knew before he was sick. I would highly recommend Jim Meng for your funeral needs. We just love him!”
“There is just not enough words to express how I feel about Jim Meng and the people who work for Anderson- Poindexter funeral home and Meng Family funeral home. They are the sweetest, kindest, and most caring people you will ever meet. They done such a wonderful job on dad. He looked like the dad we knew before he ever had health issues. So once again, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I appreciate and love you all! ❤”
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.
