“I attended the viewing for Dia De Los Muertos at the Southmost Funeral Home location. I just want to express the overwhelming feeling as soon as I walked in. The entire display, alter, and video was the most beautiful display I've seen honoring our passed lived ones! A special thanks to Dolly, with help from Daisy, and Hannah.”

“The Dia de Muerto Event is a day where we remember those who aren’t with us. Trevino Funeral home did a wonderful job in this Event. There was traditional ideas from the alter of photos of love ones to the traditional Mexican food. I would like to thank the manager and her staff for inviting me and family in the home ( funeral) to remember those we have lost. So from the bottom of my heart I thank you.”

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.
