“We just held my father's memorial service at this venue in Cambridge MN this past Saturday. The accommodations are beautiful and sparkling clean and the people who work there are warm, very caring and overly accommodating, including the pastor who gave a beautiful and personalized sermon. It was nice to work with professionals since I reside in San Diego California and all of my family members are in Minnesota. What I thought would be difficult was made easy by this company and I highly recommend their services.”

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.
