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 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.
