“Lane Funeral Home never forgets our first responders — police, fire, EMS, rescue, and our 9-1-1 public safety telecommunicators. Their generosity reflects what makes this community special: taking care of those who take care of others. From the entire 9-1-1 team, thank you for the delicious meal and for always remembering us. Your kindness means more than you know.”
“Top notch professionalism and a wonderful group of people to work with during a very hard season of losing a loved one. I highly recommend Barry, Ed, and the rest of the Lane FH staff.”
“I have been managing the most compassionate team I have ever worked with in 30 years since September. Prior to my arrival, there have been a myriad of problems that have been addressed. The facility has been remodeled and a baby grand piano has been added. Too, after doing a Cost comparison, this was surprisingly the most compassionately priced traditional funeral home in the area. I have to say that I am definitely serving my community as I have always wanted. With purpose, dignity and compassion. I stand behind every work I have uttered and beg of you to allow us to serve you...we will not let you down.”
“Lane Funeral Home exceeded all our expectations. My uncle would have been pleased with everything. They helped me with everything and I had no worries. They were respectful, helpful and supportive. Im very grateful and thankful for everything.”
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.
