“Lovely looking facility and most of the staff seemed friendly and helpful. I attended a funeral service today and the heavy set lady that was leading the show was very terse with every one. After the service was concluded she told us we couldn't stay inside to talk that we had to go to our cars. It was 20 degrees with an aggressive wind...not conducive to being outside. We were just trying to make lunch plans since there was no official gathering after the service. Wouldn't have hurt anyone to give us some time to make plans. Maybe there was something else planned but she could have been nicer with her approach.”

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.
