“At a funeral today and was very pleased with the people that was there to great you and atmosphere was very warm and pleasing. You have changed a lot of things and made many improvements, would recommend your services to anyone. Great job!”
“When my mother passed away Bill was right there. He went above and beyond with letting my daughter and I have a little private visit with my mom. We needed that closure. I don’t know what I would’ve done without him during that horrible time in my life. My family is very great full for him and everything he and his staff did for us for the first year of her passing. He truly cares about the people and their loved ones.”
“I have been to several funerals handled by Simpson Funeral Homes. They are always kind and compassionate. The professional way they handle things balances that tightrope walk of being overly compassionate and seeming phony versus genuine care and concern. They are truly very good at what they do.”
“This place has been amazing in such a hard time. The have helped us every step of the way and have even worked above and beyond to make sure my family's needs were met. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We appreciate everything you have done for our family.”
“Unfortunately I’ve been to almost every funeral home in the area over the years. This is the best one around in my opinion. Bill and his staff are top notch people that went above and beyond. My family was supper happy with them.”
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.
