“Craig at KL Brown was so compassionate and kind when we were making arrangements for my Mom’s Service. We had dealt with another facility in Oxford almost exactly a year ago and the experience at KL Brown was so much more positive in every way. The facility is beautiful and Craig allowed us to rearrange furniture to meet our needs. There was no effort on Craig’s part to apply emotional pressure just to increase profits. He did not nickel and dime us. He enabled us to give our Mom the simple but dignified service she wanted. Craig understands how difficult it is to say goodbye to someone so loved and did everything to make it easier for us. Thank you, Craig.”
“Craig and the entire staff of KL Brown were wonderful to work with during a stressful time. Everyone was kind, compassionate, and caring. They provided exceptional service and made the process as easy as possible under difficult circumstances. Many thanks from the Temple family.”
“My father recently passed away in Huntsville, Alabama. We used K.L. Brown in Anniston since my father wanted his funeral service to be held at a church in Anniston. My father also wanted to be buried in his home town of Chattanooga Tennessee. (K.L. Brown had previously handled by sister's funeral/burial seamlessly.) K.L. Brown handled by father's transportation from Huntsville to Anniston for funeral and then Chattanooga for burial flawlessly. They provided options to us with no pressure applied to go with any specific options. We experienced issues with a local Chattanooga cemetery that my father's family had previously purchased a lot for him in. My father was a U.S. Army veteran, and K.L. Brown took care of all of the arrangements to have my father buried at Chattanooga National Cemetery (saving us ~$10K). They also coordinated to have a place for my mother (also an Army veteran) to be buried there in the future.. My experience with K.L. Brown for my father's funeral/burial was exceptional.”
“10 years later I am still grateful by the compassion and care I received from Craig and the staff of KL Brown after the death of my infant son. Their treatment of his remains and the care they took in the ceremony and transport made it possible to navigate the funeral and burial process at a time where I was consumed by grief.”
“The Murray family wishes to express our sincere appreciation for the patience, comfort and care with which Craig and KL Brown staff handled the funeral of our beloved mother. At such a time one needs an understanding and trusted hand to guide one through a most difficult time. Craig and his staff did so with unerring grace and dignity.”
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.
