“My mom passed in October 5, 2016, per her request she was cremated. My dad age 88 was hospitalized and we were waiting for him to get better for her memorial. God had other plans as my dad died November 10, 2016 and also will be cremated. We will have a joint service December 16, 2016 on their 61st anniversary. It seems fitting. The Korkoian's have ALL been supportive, patient, understanding and more through this difficult time. Special thanks to Chris, Nancy and Edward.”

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.
