“Dan and company are tremendous at handling everything that needs to be handled during a very difficult time in life. What sets them apart is all the little things that come up. These things are handled quickly, properly, and with zero stress. Staff here went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Both my father and I would recommend the services at Hilliard-Rospert to anyone who finds themselves having lost a loved one and needs caring and compassionate people to get them through to the very end.”
“Dan & Belinda are professional, kind and wonderful to work with when a family member passes. Both my parents funerals were arranged here. The Rospert commitment to you does not end the day of the service. They are caring from the moment of your initial call to well beyond the day of the service.”
“Dan and his wife are absolutely wonderful at what they do! Dan really cares about both the living and the ons that have passed. My father did pass and Dan really made me feel comfortable in every part of the process, from beginning to end. I Definitely would give them 100 stars if google allowed. Thank you two again! Mark P.”
“Unfortunately, we've needed the use of a funeral home twice. Both times we used Hilliard-Rospert Funeral Home. I can't say enough great things about them. Dan and Belinda Rospert are the greatest!! They were there every step of the way, providing guidance and compassion. You're not a faceless number to them, they care. Dan is also someone who gets things done. We needed a death certificate and the doctor was dragging her feet. Dan stepped in and within a day we had the certificate. If I could, I would give Hilliard-Rospert Funeral Home "10" stars.”
“Hilliard- Rospert had both our children’ s funerals, was so proud of them and thankful for all they did. Special moment was when a pastor I didn’t even know sang Amazing Grace at our son’s funeral. No music, just sang , you could have heard a pin drop. Such a beautiful memory. Amazing how well and smoothly the funeral were held. THANK YOU, 10 Stars”
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.
