“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Colleen and her entire staff at the funeral home. We've had the privilege of working with Colleen for two funerals for our family members. My husband's grandmother and his father. Colleen and her staff were so patient, kind and caring throughout the plannings of both funerals. She thought of everything and was such a help to us during these difficult times. I would highly recommend Colleen and her funeral home to anyone who is in need of her services. You will NOT be disappointed.”

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.
