“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.”
“I used this funeral home for both my father and my mother providing them the same service each time. just a basic cremation nothing fancy. They didnt pressure me to do anything more. Pricing was fair and their service was very good. they are very kind very patient and very comforting”

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.
