“I know that I had to drive Blake (& Mr. Price) crazy on how I wanted my baby boys service and funeral done. Blake went out of his way for me. Everything turned out great! They done an awesome job! The only bad thing was my son's donation box had gotten broken into. They have no cameras, and I assumed that they did. So I am $10,000.00 in debt for my son's funeral cost . He had no life insurance.”

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.
