“We used Evoy to lay my mother and father in law to rest in the Cape May Veterans Cemetery. They were the utmost professionals. We could not have asked for the service to go better, from the handling of the memorial to the graveside service and making sure he had the proper military send-off he deserved. We've used them in the past and would never go anywhere else in Cape May. Thank you again for everything.”

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.
