From the home's own description

“Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel provides extensive support for veterans and their families, including a 32-page "American Veterans’ Guide to VA Funeral, Burial, & Memorial Benefits." This guide offers clear, actionable information on available benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), covering funeral, cremation, memorial, and burial assistance. It details eligibility, application procedures, required documents (such as the DD-214), and how to access military honors like burial flags, ceremonies, and headstones. The guide also addresses burial at sea and private cemetery benefit options, and assists with obtaining or replacing military medals and certificates. The chapel helps families navigate the VA claims process, highlighting the "duty to assist" standard and the "benefit of the doubt" given to veterans in close cases.”

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.
