“Today we had to lay our brother to rest. Dryer went above and beyond our expectations. We unfortunately have had dealings with Dryer Funeral home a lot over the last 2 years and they really helped us through it all..”
“Our experience with Dryer was so nice my husband and I will be making our funeral arrangements there also. Our family has a lot of little ones and during our funeral for my sister in law who has 4 grandchildren it was chaos like it always is with all the little ones running about. They were patient and kind. I was relieved at just how many things the funeral home takes care of for you. God Bless the family at Dryers Funeral Home in Holly Mi. Your kindness with our family was appreciated.”
“Normally, when I plan on dying, I'm given very little real choice in funeral home. However, the Dryer funeral home was a most excellent joint for all of my postmortem needs. It did, as the name implies, have a dryer mortuary than any of its competiters. This was wonderful for my health and allowed me to better enjoy my death. In all, I would reccomend this funeral home to anyone with plans to kick the bucket. Thanks Dryer!”
“The funeral was beautiful but the workers were extremely disrespectful. Through out the entire funeral there was one male worker rushing everything and people tried to get pictures of the set up and he started redecorating the whole scene.”
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.
