Veteran Services

From the home's own description

“Traditions Funeral and Cremation Services provides comprehensive support for veterans and their families, assisting with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) burial benefits and memorial items. This includes guidance on eligibility for burial in a VA national cemetery for veterans, service members, spouses, and dependents who meet specific criteria (e.g., honorable discharge, active duty death). They also help arrange military funeral honors, which typically include the playing of 'Taps,' a rifle detail, a color guard, and the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the next of kin. The funeral home assists families in applying for veterans death benefits to cover burial, funeral, and transportation costs, and provides information on requesting headstones, grave markers, or niche markers for eligible deceased veterans.”

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.
