What families have said
Brandon and Greg guided families through multiple services with attentiveness that spanned decades—one family returned from their son's funeral 30 years ago to their father's three weeks ago. The staff's willingness to customize details like the signature quilt covering made services feel genuinely personal rather than routine.
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.
