When my husband was diagnosed, we began looking for a funeral home to provide services when the time came. We ended up looking into three funeral homes, so I will list the things that stood out the most between Enders & Shirley and the other homes, and additional aspects of the services Enders & Shirley provided that were greatly appreciated and only confirmed that we made the best choice. First, the family owns and operates all aspects of the business. I'm talking about EVERYTHING. They were the ones that sold me the services, came in the middle of the night when my husband passed, ran the funeral services, and handled the cremation. Nothing was handled by a middle man, third-party sales person, sourced out, or sent elsewhere. With that in mind, I reach my second point - the family is local to the area. And I do mean local - I even ran into Kim while grocery shopping one day. You don’t need to worry that they are not available, or need to come from 3 hours away to provide services. Third, the facilities are far superior to the competition. The crematory is immaculate, large enough to allow family to observe if wanted, and the funeral home is gorgeous. My best friend works in the medical field and has been to dozens of funerals over the years, and even she commented on how nice the funeral home was compared to what she normally sees. Fourth, there were about a thousand things that I didn’t even have to think about because they took care of it for me. This was probably the most impactful because it’s incredibly hard to try and wrap up all the little details when someone passes, and having a helping hand in that process really made all the difference and helped to ease the burden. Finally, I would like to touch on just how compassionate and kind everyone was. Anytime I had a question or needed anything at all, they were always ready to help, ensured that I had everything I needed, and were consummate professionals at every turn.

BIG shout out to RK & Kim and all the wonderful staff at Enders & Shirley Funeral Home. In one of the saddest and most difficult times for my family and I after my mother passed away, Enders & Shirley Funeral Home was like a beacon of light, hope, and compassion. They were professional, friendly, caring, thoughtful, wise in their advice, knowledgeable and considerate of our needs and cultural customs, detail-oriented, practical, helpful, and supportive in every way possible. They not only brought warmth to our grieving hearts during the process but they also helped my family fulfill our wish to our beloved mother to honor her splendidly with the most beautiful, memorable ceremony. May she rest in peace. We are utterly grateful to Enders & Shirley Funeral Home and would recommend this funeral home to anyone and everyone.

I met in the past year with Chris Lynn at the Enders & Shirley Berryville location. I was there to do pre-planning for my own funeral services (hopefully not needed for a long time). Met with Chris several times, and couldn't ask for nicer people than everyone I met at Enders/Shirley. Chris was quite patient, understanding, empathetic and respectful of all my requests and questions regarding cremation and burial, including all funeral services (such as pickup and transport). I chose Enders and Shirley based on the great reviews I read online, along with visiting several other funeral homes closer to me residence in Herndon VA. Had pre-purchased a gravesite in Upperville VA so Enders/Shirley being close to there also helped my choice. Once again, the NICEST PEOPLE and thank you Chris Lynn for all your help.

Our son recently passed away from a motorcycle accident and his body was taken to Enders & Shirley Funeral Home. as you can imagine our family was devastated and we still are. The incredible staff was absolutely incredible. We live in Martinsburg near another Funeral home about a few hours, Noah and Crystal were so loving toward us that I could not think about moving our son anywhere else. I actually felt that they were like family. They made everything so easy and organized. I can’t say enough about this incredible Family owned business. They were fantastic heartwarming and so sympathetic towards our loss. I let them know that I will certainly use them for when I am out to rest. They know how to make it easy for a grieving family. A1 all the way Thank you again, The Montanaro Family

EverSettled · After the Veteran Funeral

The veteran's spouse may qualify for VA Dependency & Indemnity Compensation.

DIC is a tax-free monthly benefit for surviving spouses, dependent children, and (in some cases) parents of veterans whose death is service-connected. EverSettled walks veteran families through DIC eligibility, survivor pension, life-insurance claims, probate, and the federal-account paperwork that follows.

How honors are coordinated

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.

For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
