“Mr and Mrs Cartwright are a blessing. I really don't like working with them! but it is only because I have to say a final goodbye to a very close love one. They never dissappoint. They are very kind, understanding, and there main objective it to provide you with all the tools u need to help you through this difficult time. They recognize the hurt is real and whatever it is u need from them they are there to provide it. They want to provide you with comfort in laying your love one to rest. I highly recommend them. they laid my grandmother to rest and then my dad. they did a superb job. when I say both when laid to rest looked exactly and I mean exactly like themselves. At the end of the day I am so thankful for them. and I pray God continues to bless them. Thank you Mr and Mrs Cartwright.”

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.
