Veterans Military Honors

Veteran Services

From the home's own description

“Baker-Stevens-Parramore Funeral Home provides comprehensive veteran funeral services, including coordinating basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) such as the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veteran's family and the playing of Taps. These ceremonies are performed by a funeral honors detail with at least two members of the Armed Forces, with at least one from the deceased veteran's branch of service. They assist families in establishing veteran eligibility, typically using DD Form 214, and help obtain government-furnished headstones, markers, or medallions from the Department of Veterans Affairs at no cost. Additionally, they facilitate the provision of a United States flag to drape the casket or accompany the urn, and assist in acquiring the Presidential Memorial Certificate. Services can be arranged in private or veteran cemeteries, tailored to honor the veteran's service and the family's wishes.”

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.
