“Greg and the team did an excellent job supporting our family as we made plans for a loved one who had passed. It was easy to work with him and he coordinated things with the cemetery. The services were excellent and I felt like it was a good value. I’d recommend them.”
“Canby Funeral Chapel put my father to rest 30 years ago and recently did the same for my 107 year old mother. The whole experience while traumatic for our family and friends was made easier with a professional service provided by the director and staff at the Canby Funeral Chapel. If my experiences with the Canby Funeral Chapel over the past 30 years is of any merit then you can believe me that these folks make the experience one you can look back on with a sense everything was done right. I will say that you'll need to look elsewhere for your obituary flyers to be printed as Canby Funeral Chapel does not do that anymore.”
“My father passed away on June 22 of this year. He had very specific wishes on the service and his internment. Greg and the staff at Canby Funeral Chapel were attentive, supportive, and flexible, following his wishes to the letter. It really helped us deal with this difficult time. Thank you CFC!”
“Very disappointed in the outcome. Cremation Service was delayed for weeks. Information seemed to fall through the cracks with employees. I’m still waiting on death certificates nearly two months after estimated delivery. Employees are nice people when speaking with them, but that doesn’t change the outcome.”
“The staff and funeral director were very helpful and compassionate to our family during a difficult time. They were patient and informative as difficult decisions were made. I was especially impressed with each appointment we had as they were prompt and prepared. The vendor used (arranged by Canby Funeral Chapel) for the burial was exceptional! Exceeded my expectations all around which was appreciated.”
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.
