“Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and professionalism . The professional services you provided us will be memorialized in our hearts forever. Shalom. 🙏”
“East Lawn Memorial did a wonderful job preparing us for my Dad’s graveside service in August of 2023 and my Mother’s in September of 2024. I met with them a couple days before the service, told them what we wanted and it was done. Highly recommend their services”
“Eastlawn was amazing to work with, as we prepared for multiple family burials this year. The attention to detail, and follow through on all aspects of the burial process were superb. We never felt rushed into decisions on grave markers, and everything was thoroughly explained to us at every step. The staff was so respectful and kind and we highly recommend working with them when you are faced with the death of a loved one.”
“Tyffanie Knight at Eastlawn Memorial Gardens was so helpful explaining options in my purchase of a burial for me. I had spoken to her by phone several weeks ago before my planned thumb surgery. She called last week asking how I was doing after surgery. I told her that I wanted to go ahead and meet with her about funeral plans for me. I met with her this past Monday and she made it so easy to take of this while I am feeling good. It gives me a piece of mind that I have taken care of this for me. Thank you Tyffanie”
“Tyffanie was great and very compassionate as she explained options and made everything simple in times where life seems impossible. It is because of people like her that you remember how many good people there are out in this world. Highly recommend East Lawn and Dignity when the time comes inevitably that our loved ones have moved on.”
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.
