I can’t thank Paul Lane Funeral Home enough for their exceptional service during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very first call, the staff was not only professional, but also incredibly compassionate and understanding. They made an overwhelming process feel much more manageable, and their attention to detail was unmatched. A special shout-out to Mr. Milton and Ms. Valerie for their outstanding support. Mr. Milton was incredibly patient and walked us through every step with calm assurance. His kindness and dedication really stood out, and it was clear he genuinely cares about the families he serves. Ms. Valerie was equally wonderful—so warm and attentive, always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Their teamwork made all the difference, and we are so grateful for their presence during such a sensitive time. Thank you, Paul Lane Funeral Home, for your professionalism and heartfelt service. You truly go above and beyond to help families through their toughest moments.

This is kind of hard to write but I absolutely needed to. Paul Lane Funeral Home was definitely the best choice for my mother. Mrs. Valarie was amazing. She helped every step of the way and communicated so well with me. I was able to handle things from out of state and Mrs. Valarie made me feel like she was apart of my family as well. The comfort and professionalism was amazing. So personable and helpful. I am forever thankful for her and the other staff for helping me through this tough time in my life.

Paul Lane Funeral Home made the planning of my dad’s home going seamless. They were detail oriented, thoughtful, responsive, and very professional. They know the business very well and have reasonable prices. I am so happy I went with them.

EverSettled · After the Veteran Funeral

The veteran's spouse may qualify for VA Dependency & Indemnity Compensation.

DIC is a tax-free monthly benefit for surviving spouses, dependent children, and (in some cases) parents of veterans whose death is service-connected. EverSettled walks veteran families through DIC eligibility, survivor pension, life-insurance claims, probate, and the federal-account paperwork that follows.

How honors are coordinated

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.

For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
