“Eannace Funeral Home has done all of our family funerals over the years. Nancy Eannace and staff, give personalized attention, and they spend an infinite amount of time making sure everything is explained properly, and that nothing is forgotten. I lost my husband just over a week ago. Dominick Vita drove 3 hours round trip, to pick up my husband and bring him to the funeral home. They did a wonderful job preparing my husband for viewing. The staff goes above and beyond in being sympathetic and making sure your needs are taken care of. Nancy called me a few days later, to make sure I was completely satisfied. I surely am satisfied. Eannace is the place to go for all your funeral needs. I can’t say enough about this funeral home, and the amazing people who work there. They are true angels on Earth.”
“Beautiful funeral home but on the obituaries online you should be able to remove awful comments.. life should be celebrated and not brought down. I'm disappointed to see there was nothing in place on my loved ones obituary. Do better.”
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.
