“Becker Ritter Funeral Home recently handled my father’s funeral, and I cannot say enough about the care we received. From the moment we walked through their doors, they were compassionate, empathetic, and truly professional. Their beautiful facilities provided a peaceful, comforting setting during such a painful time. The staff communicated with us exceptionally well and guided us through every step of the process with patience and clarity. They handled the details we didn’t even know to think about, which allowed us to simply focus on honoring my dad. Their calm presence brought a sense of peace to a very difficult moment in our lives, and we are incredibly grateful. I highly recommend Becker Ritter to any family in need of support and guidance. They made an unbearable time feel manageable, and their kindness will never be forgotten.”

“Our family's experience with Becker-Ritter Funeral Home could not have been better. The funeral home itself is lovely, peaceful, artfully decorated and immaculate. I had never handled a funeral service prior, and Becker-Ritter went above and beyond to meet my needs and expectations. The knowledgable, empathetic, professional staff helped us pre-plan, and later, they seamlessly navigated a funeral service that began in Wisconsin and ended in Florida, explaining the process, and making me comfortable every step of the way. Jessica anticipated our needs, she was there for us through many questions and requests. Always responding quickly and kindly, offering helpful suggestions and support. I wholeheartedly recommend Becker-Ritter Funeral Home in Brookfield, Wisconsin.”

“Michael Palmisano was an absolute blessing to our family during the most heartbreaking time of our lives — burying our son. From the very first moment, Michael showed genuine compassion, kindness, and understanding that went far beyond his professional role. He was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through every step with patience and clarity, making sure nothing felt rushed or overwhelming. His professionalism was evident in every detail, yet he never lost the personal, human touch that meant so much to us. Michael treated our son and our family with dignity, respect, and care, and for that we will be forever grateful. In a time filled with unimaginable pain, his calm presence and heartfelt compassion brought comfort when we needed it most. We could not have asked for a better funeral director, and we will always remember his kindness.”

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.
