“Lindsey helped with my mother's funeral service years ago at Crestview in Portland, last couple of weeks she helped with my mother in love service at Cole and Garrett in Goodletsville, TN. She was excellent in helping us plan the service. From the time we walked in till after the burrial service, Lindsey and her team was Top Notch.”
“Days before my father’s expected death, I spoke with Lindsey to see if our years before purchased plots and funeral services were in place. Years old arrangements so she had to locate our information. She answered the questions I had at the time. Once we were in need of Cole and Garrett’s services, words do not adequately express how kind and gentle she was with us. I called her my Angel Baby. We mostly knew what we wanted as a family. She said yes at every thought and action we had. I would ask her what we were to do next. She told me what to do. She led and we followed. The sweetest simple graveside service and burial. Exactly what we wanted to honor my father. My deepest appreciation of Cole and Garrett and their care for my family.”
“C&G has been amazing to work with in our family’s most difficult time. Nina has been amazing, patient, kind, and sweet to us. She has answered every single question we have had. The obituary she wrote for Mom was PERFECT!! We just cannot say enough great things about her and the whole team at Cole & Garrett.”
“Lindsey Stuffle and her staff are amazing at what they do. She went over and beyond for my family! Everything was well organized and put together. I definitely recommend Cole & Garrett!”
“Jason was amazing during an extremely hard time for our family. His kindness and compassion made the process very gentle. He did such a wonderful job with my brother after his passing, and went above and for my family. I can't thank him enough, and HIGHLY recommend using Cole & Garrett.”
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.
