“I am grateful for the kindness, patience, and reverence of the people who assisted with my grandmother's recent funeral. Both my grandparents have had services here, and the funeral home is a warm and comfortable space with private areas to mourn and decompress. But most notably, it is a special moment they created for our family that I'd like to acknowledge. During the funeral procession, they led the vehicles past my grandmother's old home, and our family noticed this unexpected and meaningful gesture. This demonstrated deep understanding and care. Thank you for what you do for others during such a sensitive time.”
“Eric did an excellent job in helping my sisters and I navigate through the hardest time in our lives the loss of our father. Forever grateful ❤️”

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.
