“Dyersburg Funeral Home has the kindest, considerate, comforting and caring staff. This was my first experience with Brock, but let me tell you, he was wonderful!! He served our family well through everything. And Miss Linda, all you can say is she’s the best!! But, then again, everyone is so helpful and nice!! At such a hard time in your life, you will be glad you chose these fine folks. They go above and beyond the call of service!! Sincerely, The family of Virginia Work.”
“We used Dyersburg Funeral Home recently for my mothers funeral, we were from out of town and Danny Cook and the staff at Dyersburg Funeral where very helpful during an emotional time. Planning from out of town and other issues that arose due to a ice storm that caused plans to have to change but the staff kept us updated and worked with us to make it a special time for our family and my mother's service. The staff was very professional and caring at the same time.”
“The funeral director was great. We used Dyersburg Funeral Home when my dad passed. Aug 18. Mom passed in July 20. We were so very pleased with everything. From the time we walked in the door, they were there. We always had someone to call anytime, if we needed anything. I would highly recommend Dyersburg Funeral Home. They were so professional, kind and caring to our family. Thank you for taking great care of my mom and dad.”
“Dyersburg Funeral Home has handled 5 of my family’s funerals in the last 40 years. The process was seamless, with every question being answered. The staff is very caring and professional. During a very sad time, they made everything much easier.”
“The funeral director was cold, stand offish and unapproachable. When I approached him after the graveside ceremony he acted as if he were a movie star and I annoyingly paparazzi. It was the oddest experience considering the circumstances. Not sure if he was having a bad day because it was the opposite when my dad passed. He was very helpful then. Up until this point my family had always used Dyersburg instead of Curry’s but that behavior is unacceptable to grieving family.”
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.
