“I want to thank Lindsey for the outstanding support they have given our family Loragan and R K did a great job helping us and preparing us at our time of need we couldn't ask for a better place of service at our time of need !”
“The staff there is amazing! They have done an amazing job handling my Fathers arrangements. They were very caring, compassionate, understanding and very respectful. I never expected to receive compliments from them on how well we took care of our Dad, they said they could tell by his appearance that he was well loved and cared for, and that they had very little to do on him outwardly because of the great level of care he received. That warmed my heart!! They performed such great work that my father completely looked like himself again, filled his flesh back out nicely since the cancer took most of his weight from him, they were so gentle with him and the whole process of the funeral went without any hiccups....it was beautiful and I know my Dad would be so grateful for all they have done! Dad specifically chose this business to handle all of his final arrangements and he made a superior choice!! Thank you all so much for everything you have done!”
“GREAT FAMILY and friendly people who are great in doing good on the job they were meant to take care of for my family and yours.VERY VERY SATISFIED WITH THE KINDNESS OF THEIR CARING FOR WHAT THEY DO.THANKS FOR THE HELP”
“Very understanding and kind and thorough thank you”
“Very nice place to be with friends and 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.
