What families have said
Matthew was reachable for every question, no matter how simple, earning the family's trust. The staff's service execution earned praise, though a two-year delay in completing a tombstone engraving revealed gaps in long-term follow-up.
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.
