When my father died, my mother was beyond grief stricken, we had never been in the situation where we needed to plan a funeral service and had no idea where to begin. We were recommended Holt & Holt by a family friend, and they were beyond expectations. Holt & Holt is family run, and it shows. They have truly treated us like members of their family; they were there for us every hour of the day and 7 days a week if we needed them and provided such a loving and supportive presence to all of us, even after the service, letting us know that they would forever be by our side in case the need would arise when we needed someone to talk to or help of any kind. My father was a proud Marine Corps veteran and I am so touched at how hard they fought to ensure his military honors were fulfilled especially in such a turbulent time (government shut down), never giving up even with the constant run arounds and answering machines they encountered and ensuring his Marine brothers and sisters were there to honor him per his final wishes. No words can thank them enough for all the time and effort they put in to making this happen. The service they provided was everything we could have hoped for. From Liana Holt’s display wall that allowed us to display his cherished possessions, to the slideshow they created incorporating all of our favorite family memories (even taking the time to clean up scanned images that were decades old), to William Holt’s thoughtful service. He took so much time interviewing different family members and friends of my father's and was able to capture his personality like they were old friends. They were even able to honor his Scottish ancestry by including a bagpiper into the ceremony. All of these touches that the Holt family incorporated provided a perfect snapshot of his life in such a beautiful, personalized tribute. I do not think anyone could have provided a more personalized and honoring service for my father and I cannot thank you all enough for everything you did for us and for him.

The holt family has been a huge blessing during our difficult time of having to plan the burial for my daughter and her two young boys. Liana has been so caring and very genuine during the whole process. She treated my family with the dignity and respect they truly deserved. She went above and beyond with my loved one’s care. This family will treat your loved ones like family. From restoration and the care and time they put into preparing my family for the viewing was beautiful and gave me peace. They’re very personable so they made what should have been a very difficult situation an easy transition. I honestly feel blessed to have come across an amazing family and appreciate all they have done for my family. I could not have chosen a better family to trust my family with, from the gentle care and services they provided for my loved ones for their final farewell. Thank you Liana and William. For all that you do and did for my family in the end. We truly appreciate you all.

William Holt helped my family make all the arrangements for my father’s funeral. He ensured my dad received his full military honors. As celebrant, he provided a lovely secular memorial service which was exactly what my dad would have wanted. The cremation and disposal of the ashes was included. My family was very pleased with the services from Holt & Holt. Highly recommend!

Mr William Holt was so very kind, patient, empathetic and guided us through this very difficult, completely unexpected & shocking time. He took exceptional care of our loved one as if he were taking care of his own!! He took the time to sincerely get to know and to learn about our son's life and who he was. He helped encouraged as well as guide us along with options to personalize each and every aspect of the service in order to reflect our loved one's personality and to feel their presence shine through during the service. We are so very grateful to him and ALL of his staff & his wonderful family who is a huge part of the business and treated us and our son as family. They helped with every step from the music to photos to presentation to guiding, finding and figuring out anything we needed, wanted & asked for in order to personalize the service perfectly. At the end of this (and throughout this) i felt Mr Holt truly knew our son! That was very comforting and made such a huge impact on our experience through this, to our broken hearts and most importantly, to our son. I TRULY FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A BUSINESS TO HIM BUT RATHER A MINISTRY!Thank you Mr William Holt, family and staff. God bless you so that you may bless many more in need of your wonderful care and guidance through most unimaginable unbearable times.

Leanna, Willam and Family, Provided a service to our family during an extremely difficult and complicated time. There are no words that our family could say to express the overwhelming Gratitude of service the Holt family provided to us. Our son was layed to rest with class and dignity on April 26th, and until today the 7th of June the Holt family is still assisting our family through this Grieving Process. Thank you Holt & Holt.

How honors are coordinated

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.
