What families have said

Matt and Carissa showed real kindness when we needed it most—holding our mother's body for over a week while we navigated the wreckage of her passing. When we couldn't afford their services, they didn't turn us away; they directed us to an option we could afford.

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.
