“Trimble Funeral Homes provides comprehensive support for veterans and their families, including assistance in securing all applicable benefits such as Presidential Memorial Certificates and Governor’s Memorial Certificates. They arrange military honors, including the playing of “Taps” and American Flag presentations at ceremonies. The firm also guides families on options for burial at Arlington, Quantico, or any VA National Cemetery, and helps complete necessary paperwork for the Veterans Administration. A unique offering is their Flag Retirement Program, where worn American flags are respectfully cremated with a veteran, and families receive an Official Flag Retirement Certificate.”

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.
