“I used the Reid Funeral Chapel to handle my fathers funeral services a few years ago. They were very compassionate and caring and I had certainly planned to use their services again. I buried my aunt this past year and again they were wonderful and made the process much more comfortable in a terrible time. I would recommend the Reid Funeral Chapel to anyone going through the grieving process. They will certainly take care of you in your time of sorrow.”
“Dawn went above and beyond with caring, compassionate service.”
“Reid staff member Dawn went above and beyond for our family after our loss right from the time she came to the hospital to meet with us and take our loved one. She was respectful of our feelings and had many calls and texts for over a month after our loss. Very caring. Also made many calls she did not need to do. Highly recommend Dawn and Reid Funeral Home.”
“Dawn was incredibly compassionate with our daughters passing and went above and beyond our expectations. Dawn was always just a phone call away and she made this whole miserable process bearable and convenient.”
“Very helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.”
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.
