“Recently attended my father in laws funeral on 6/7/24. This funeral home has excellent service and Lisa is one of the most professional people I have ever met. During such a tough time she makes the process easier to deal with and gives 100% throughout the whole process. Keep up the good work!”
“The entire Mastrofrancesco funeral home team were incredible during the recent loss of my mother. They made this difficult time so much easier for me to handle. I was from out of town and Lesa handled everything perfectly. From our first meeting after my mother passed to two weeks after the burial with Lesa just checking in on me and how I was doing. I can honestly say that they are like angels from above that took care of me and my family during this sad and chaotic time. I hope that everyone receives the kind of care and service that Mastrofranceso Funeral Home provides when a loved one passes. God Bless Lesa and her team of angels!!!”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for the kindness and compassion Lesa has given over the years with the loss of loved ones. At the moment of loss you are broken and not thinking clearly. One call to Lesa and she takes over for your brain and makes a painful situation manageable. From start to finish and beyond, Lesa and Lauren take control and handle everything with ease and sensitivity. Every detail is covered. Not only is she professional, but she is personable and makes you feel like family. She is quick to answer questions, and a wealth of knowledge. The funeral home is lovely with a peaceful atmosphere, and plenty of easy parking. I wish I could give 10 stars.”
“Lesa & Lauren are truly amazing & compassionate people. Lesa had gone above & beyond anything we could have imagined. Lesa is a wonderful person with such a kind heart. She helped us so much through this difficult time in our lives. You have to be a special person to help families in their time of need and Lesa is that & so much more. Thank you both for everything ❤️❤️”
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.
