“Clark Legacy Center is wonderful during a very difficult time of life. My parents had both preplanned their funeral services, that was a great relief for us. There were some things that were not preplanned and Clark Legacy was very helpful in the last minute plans. They were patient as 4 daughters worked to agree on the plans. I recommend Clark Legacy Center for preplanning services and for services at the time of death.”

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.
