Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.

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.
