My experience with Thomas Poteet was excellent. Funeral Directors, Kurt and Luke, and staff member, Amy, were extremely kind, respectful, attentive, and helpful in planning and executing a gravesite burial service for my mother. All planning had to be via phone calls, but they made it extremely easy and less stressful for me. I also appreciated their being able to quickly obtain the death certificates for me.

Luke and the Thomas Poteet & Son staff exceeded our expectations in every aspect of my father's funeral. From the initial planning to weeks after the service, the experience was outstanding! They provided a pressure-free environment for selecting services and products, and their demeanor throughout the entire process was superb. This is the funeral home I personally want my children to use when I pass. I still have people complimenting us on how proficient and elegant my father's service was. Kudos, to Luke and the rest of the team! You've genuinely made this difficult time more bearable. Thank you!

I don’t even have the words to fully express what Luke did for my family during my dad’s passing. In a time when our hearts were broken and everything felt overwhelming, Luke stepped in with so much compassion, patience, and genuine care. He didn’t just do his job — he guided us, comforted us, and made sure every detail was handled with love and respect. Luke went above and beyond in every possible way, and I will never forget the kindness he showed us. He made one of the hardest moments of our lives a little easier to bear. I am forever grateful for him, and my family will always remember how he helped us through such a painful time. Thank you❤️

I just want to thank everyone here for being such a wonderful help and caring for us like we were family and being kind. Losing a loved one is never easy but Mr. Buzz helped us out and was there throughout this difficult process along with the amazing staff! I will NEVER forget your kindness and your staffs. Y’all went above and beyond! Thank you for everything! Like my dad would have said,” Hey man I was glad I could do it!” Y’all would have made him proud! I can’t recommend this funeral home enough!

The veteran's spouse may qualify for VA Dependency & Indemnity Compensation.

DIC is a tax-free monthly benefit for surviving spouses, dependent children, and (in some cases) parents of veterans whose death is service-connected.

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.
