“In a time of serious devastation and overwhelming trauma I cannot put in to words the amount of stress that was taken off of me because of the extreme kindness offered us by Tate mortuary. Especially with the somewhat odd family dynamic I’m dealing with and have always dealt with making things just that much more difficult .Plus the sometimes overwhelming amount of kindness being offered up from friends many of whom were and still are long term co workers basically extended family, that wanted to honor and celebrate with us, all of us. Which with the amazing help from Tate Mortuary and their A+ services was accomplished quickly. In the end there cost for basic services all the way up to what you could call the Works or Full service, was much better the one would expect nowadays. In the end I was treated so well and my father was treated the same, thanks again for the help! I won’t spoil the surprise but a wonderful woman works at this place and she was a pleasure to work with!! Thanks again for all you did for my mother and myself getting my Dad taken care of, won’t ever forget the experience!”

We will never be able to thank Tate’s enough for helping us navigate thru the worst time of our life a bit easier. From beginning to end everything was perfectly taken care of. Any request was granted and all of our requests were taken care of. The staff treated our Mom with such care and love and she looked so peaceful it filled us with a the peace we needed. Going through this was beyond difficult but thanks to Cole and his staff we were able to get thru that portion of our grief much easier. I personally am grateful for everything that was done for us and the absolute professionalism that we received. Cole THANK YOU ❤️❤️ Forever grateful, The Cisco family.”

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.
