“Very unprofessional. Took forever to return calls. Lied and mishandled all paperwork. Loosing a loved one is hard enough but to deal with someone who is so scattered brained and unorganized really adds to the stress of a already horrible situation.”

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.
For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
