“Clark and his entire staff are extremely professional, courteous and compassionate. I was blessed to have Pulliam Funeral Home in Robinson to have handled the arrangements of three of our loved ones, and most recently my mom. Anything and everything I asked for, they made it happen and Clark knew exactly the vision our family had in mind for the visitation, service, and burial. From the music I selected, to the program design, the beautiful service by Tom Akers, and the obituary submission, all was orchestrated in total perfection. Thankful for the care, compassion, and honor they have always provided to our loved ones and our entire family.”

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.
