“My mother passed away a few weeks ago and while that happened I was out of state. I wasn’t able to say my final goodbyes at the hospital. Later on my sister was able to send me in the info of the cemetery. I spoke to Doug if it wasn’t too late to see my mother one last time before her cremation. He was very kind, helpful, and understanding with all the questions I asked for the preparation! The whole process was easy and fast! They really make you feel comfortable throughout the process! I was able to see my mom , beautifully presented at the chapel and brought me joy to see how respectful they made her look. I really appreciate the patience and dedication to this team. My sister and I were able to find a closure we needed . Thank you and forever grateful !”

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.
