Let's be honest, plan ing a funeral is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do, but Bruce, Victoria and the entire staff at Thompson Memorial Home made it so much easier for us. They welcomed us in, listened to all our stories about our mom, and tool care of every detail for her services so that we could just get through the days after mom passed. Every single step was flawless, and our mom was laid to rest with no stress to our family. I would highly recommend Thompson's to anyone.

The entire team was so loving and supportive, but especially Victoria. Everything was easy and well tended to. Victoria's outstanding work affirmed our decision to hold a memorial service sooner rather than later. Wonderful place and people!

Victoria and the rest of the staff at Thompson Memorial Home were incredibly understanding and empathetic, making my family & myself feel supported and cared for throughout everything. She handled everything with the upmost professionalism while still taking the time to make the service perfect and not miss any details honoring our loved one’s memory. I cannot recommend anyone but Victoria and the Thompson Memorial Home staff while dealing with your lost loved ones. Simply the best!

I honestly don’t know where to begin. The compassion, professionalism, and respect shown by Bruce, Victoria, and the entire team at Thompson Memorial Home were truly exceptional. We faced an incredibly difficult situation in California related to the payment and logistics of transporting my mother back to New Jersey. The funeral home in California would not accept payment from us—even though it was their responsibility—leaving us in an impossible position during an already devastating time. Thompson Memorial Home stepped in and became our lifeline. Without even having a burial plot finalized and while we were still out of state, they placed their trust in us—and we trusted them completely. Everything was handled with such care, clarity, and grace. The process was seamless, dignified, and deeply humane. Victoria was extraordinarily kind and steady throughout the entire day, as was every member of the staff. Their professionalism never felt cold—it felt supportive, respectful, and genuine. In one of the hardest moments of our lives, Thompson Memorial Home made an unbearable situation feel manageable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Our family cannot speak highly enough about Thompson Memorial Home. Bruce and Victoria took care of everything for our mother's recent funeral, the same way the took care of my father's several years ago. Everything was simply flawless, and it was such a comfort to know that they would handle any questions, as well as provide advice and direction when our brains weren't working at capacity. Their professionalism and skills are without peer, and we feel fortunate to have found them.

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.
