“Donelson Funeral Home handled services for two of my grandparents; most recently, my grandfather. Jared was very compassionate and attentive to my family's needs, making a difficult time just a bit easier. He took the time to listen to my family's wishes and helped them create a beautiful service that truly honored my grandfather’s life. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere they created was both respectful and comforting. I highly recommend Donelson Funeral Home to anyone seeking compassionate and dignified funeral services. Jared's dedication to honoring our loved ones is truly commendable, and we are incredibly grateful for his assistance.”

Every detail that the family requested, including burial in the family plot in a different town, was accomplished beautifully. I highly recommend them.”

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.
