From the home's own description

“Cody-White Funeral Service provides comprehensive veteran funeral services, including full military honors. These services encompass the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the next-of-kin, the playing of Taps by an Armed Forces detail, and assistance with obtaining headstones, markers, or medallions from the Department of Veterans Affairs at no cost. Families can also receive a Presidential Memorial Certificate. Eligibility for military funeral honors extends to active duty members, Selected Reserve members, and former military members with honorable discharges, regardless of rank. The funeral home guides families through the process of establishing veteran eligibility, primarily using DD Form 214. They also confirm eligibility for members of the Commissioned Officer Corps of the Public Health Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The funeral home assists with applying for burial flags through Veterans Affairs and provides guidance on their proper display.”

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.
