“I've attended a few different funerals here at Hager Funeral Home. The staff were all very sweet and caring. The services were all very tastefully done and the inside of the building is also very nicely decorated.”
“A few months ago my family lost my grandfather to covid and it was devastating … Hager made the entire process from start to finish SEAMLESS and with SO much care. They helped us pick out flowers, they even delivered them to our home after the funeral so we didn’t have to carry them. They were gentle and kind and had the utmost respect for every family member who came through the door. Though it was small due to covid you would think they honored my grandfather with the biggest memorial. I am so thankful and will never forget their kindness. They gifted my grandmother with a blanket with my grandfathers picture on it and it is the best gift someone could’ve given her. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Not to mention… their pricing was very reasonable. I went to three funerals for family in the last year all at different places and Hager was hands down the most affordable, the most well kept and the warmest connection. Thank you so very much for your support!”
“It's never easy to lose a loved one, and making funeral arrangements can be overwhelming. Our experience with Hager Funeral Home was top notch. Bill and Billy Adams are 2 of the kindest, most thoughtful people I've ever met. And it's genuine. Every detail was attended to without any effort from me or the family. I can't thank them enough or recommend them any higher for taking the burden of this incredibly stressful time for us. 5 stars is not enough.”
“They got my sister headstone up quick and it looks so so good! I truly want to thank u from the bottom of my heart!!! And be honest yall are cheaper than anyone around me. Her husband got it from yall! Thank yall so much!!”
“My father passed away in February and Hager funeral home helped me take care of everything. They were by my side the whole way. They are very caring and very respectful. Billy Adams is a wonderful person. Then a month after my father's passing, his very special friend passed and again Billy was there helping her family the whole way. I would highly recommend Hager Funeral Home.”
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.
