“My mother recently passed. Two years ago I met with Scott Pellerin and preplanned her service. When the time came, Scott and his staff took care of everything and my mother’s service was just like she would have wanted. My siblings and I did not have to worry about anything. It was dignified, professional, and my mother looked lovely. Thank you to the entire staff, but especially Scott for making this experience easier to handle. I strongly recommend Iberts mortuary!”
“I had great service from Scott & the staff. Very caring & trustworthy people. You could not ask for better. I was a first time planner of my husband’s funeral, & he helped me so much, to get everything planned, & worked out. Thank you, Scott Pellerin!”
“My mom's service was absolutely beautiful they did an amazing job with everything and they were amazing with last minute details, they accommodated everything we asked for. If I could give 100 stars they would definitely get it. Scott is the absolute best we could not have done it without him.”
“The service was nice it would have been nicer and I would have given more stars had they paid attention to how to spell my grandfather's name correctly. Two stars is pretty low, but they had it coming. My grandfather was a staple in that town even a deputy sheriff at one point for 60 years you think they could have spelled his name right. It's a damn shame you pay that much money and they didn't pay attention to how to spell his name. Way to drop the ball Ibert's mortuary”
“Our experience with Scott Pellerin was so heart warming. We honestly felt as thou he was a part of the family. Thank you Scott for taking great care of my family during our time of sorrow. God Bless you!”
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.
