Cawley and people were so wonderful. They helped us during our loss in more ways than we could ever imagined. Not only caring but so very helpful. We could never have achieved all for the wonderful service or what followed without out there care love and support. I have never experienced such great people and experience as I have with them. I would truly recommend them for all of your loss for any loved one. They will surely be there for you during the time of your arraignments and anything you need afterwards. Truly great people!

Cawley and Peoples has met the needs of my husband and me from pre-planning to the need for cremation services recently following the unexpected death of my husband. Adam met with me and our 2 children and helped us during our time of shock and sadness. As our children live out of town and were not with their father at the time of his death, a private viewing later in the day was arranged so they could pay their respects and say goodbye. All services were delivered with compassion and respect. Adam listened as I relayed my husband’s wishes through weeping and tears and never did we feel rushed or pressured in any way. Pre-planning was definitely beneficial for our family in our time of need. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of this hometown business.

Our mother died recently and Cawley & Peoples handled the arrangements for us. We made simple decisions like colors and what kind of register to have but they led us through all the steps. They took care of filing all necessary paperwork and dealt with all the different vendors(flowers, newspaper, vital statistics, cemetery, engraving). They provided a host and hostess during the viewing and made certain that everything went smoothly. It's so nice to have someone handling the details so that the family can just focus on each other and the ceremony and Cawley & Peoples did that exceptionally well. They even followed up later for grief support. I will use them again and highly recommend them!

Dealing with the passing of my Grandson was extremely difficult but the staff handled everything so nicely. It was so unexpected. I don’t know what we would have done without them. They were kind, compassionate and very understanding and did their best to help us as much as possible. They helped us every step of the way and still check on us from time to time. My family thanks you so much for helping us during this very difficult time. Thanks so much to Brian and Elizabeth and all the staff at Cawley and Peoples funeral home.

I have come to the conclusion that there are those individuals in this world who are rare and very gifted people. They choose to tend to the deceased body of our loved one, care for those who are left behind, the brokenhearted remaining family members and friends. In doing so they offer kindness, respect, love , dignity, even a smile of encouragement to many they have only met perhaps in a space of a few hours. I have found those individuals at Cawley and Peoples Funeral Home in Marietta, Ohio. They were all of these things and more in the loss of my husband of almost 58 years. I would give this group a 5 Star rating and highly recommend them to anyone traveling through this valley of life. My family and I will always remember the excellent care they gave to all of us. Thank you, Cawley and Peoples Funeral Home, Marietta, Ohio.

EverSettled · After the Veteran Funeral

The veteran's spouse may qualify for VA Dependency & Indemnity Compensation.

DIC is a tax-free monthly benefit for surviving spouses, dependent children, and (in some cases) parents of veterans whose death is service-connected. EverSettled walks veteran families through DIC eligibility, survivor pension, life-insurance claims, probate, and the federal-account paperwork that follows.

How honors are coordinated

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.
