It took me a few months to write this review as I was devastated by the loss of my dear grandfather. I want to share what a wonderful experience I had making arrangements from out of town. I had the best experience with Brandon, Amanda, and Keith. Every detail was picked out thru text messages and email. They saved me from driving during our time of grief and helped me with every detail. I shared all the wonderful details of my grandfather and wonderful recommendations were made. The service was beautiful, intimate, and the employees were very compassionate. We are grateful to have had Croley help us during this difficult time. I am glad to know my grandfather had such a beautiful service. I would highly recommend.

My experience with Croley Funeral Home in Gladewater has been excellent. They have managed the process excellently, especially considering our having to delay the services due to international travel commitments. As things came up they worked to make the process easy for our family and the Aftercare program they offer was a tremendous help in making sure we were taking everything into consideration.

Greatly appreciated their hospitality and how they took time to explain the process. I was very grateful for how they treated my family as their own and made this process possible. There is no words that I can say that will ever let them know how much I appreciated them

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.
