I lost my husband unexpectedly on November 16, 2025. We would have been celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary towards the end of the month. I was totally devastated and the personnel at Spry Funeral were very understanding and supportive as they guided me during this most difficult time. My husband's Celebration of Life was respectfully and beautifully carried out. The Spry personnel devoted their attention to make sure every detail was perfect. The slide show presentation was around 150 photos that were perfectly synchronized to 6 of his favorite songs. Since my husband's service, I have received follow up text messages checking in on me and offering additional support. I am very appreciative for Spry's professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine compassion.

Spry Funeral Home was exceptional in their services for our family. Prior to my mother’s passing, Spry Funeral Home provided the required services to prepare her body and flawlessly transferred my mom on her final flight from Alabama to California. When the receiving Funeral home in CA received my mother , they complimented how well Spry prepared my mom for open casket showing. The Spry staff was most professional, kind and attentive.Elizabeth of Spry Funeral Home has been so sweet. She has reached out to my sister and I over the past year just to see how we are doing. Spry Funeral Home is exceptional. I sincerely appreciate Spry and I would highly recommend their services to anyone and everyone in their time of need.

Spry Funeral Home went above and beyond for our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. From the very first conversation, their team was compassionate, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They treated our loved one with dignity and respect, and they treated our family like we truly mattered. The entire process was handled with care and organization, which made a hard situation much easier to navigate. They took the time to answer every question, explain each step clearly, and ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The service was beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged. We are deeply grateful for their kindness, patience, and professionalism. I would highly recommend Spry Funeral Home to anyone in need of caring and dependable support during a difficult time.

We used Spry Funeral Home for my husbands cremation. They were professional and very compassionate during this time. Everything was explained and done in a timely manner. They reached out two months after the funeral to make sure we were doing ok and asked if we needed any other assistance. I will definitely recommend Spry Funeral Home for anyone.

How honors are coordinated

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.

For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
