“Tom Howard’s only son was treated so badly at the funeral. He was last in the procession to the cemetery and they moved the casket to the hearse while he was inside getting coats on. That was totally disrespectful.”
“The professionals who work at this funeral home are exceptional human beings. My family and I worked with Samantha, and honestly, she was incredibly helpful. I really do appreciate the attentiveness and care we received from Grisier.”
“The crew at Edgar-Grisier Funeral Homes is amazing. They were professional, kind, caring, fun (weird in this context), patient, and handled EVERYTHING so that my family had little to do except celebrate our mom's life. We had a VERY negative experience with another funeral concern in the area when my father died a year ago. It's cliché but the experience was night and day. I would recommend these folks for your family. Without hesitation. A million times over.”
“Memories flow of Les's oh so Sweet Smiling face and oh so talkative and am already missing reading his Daily Social Media Positive Inspirational Posts that warmed the Heart ❤️ gave new outlook on life.”
“They took care of my sisters funeral. Everything was done amazingly”
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.
