“Lavigne Funeral Home truly went the extra mile to personalize their services to fit mine and my families needs when my husband passed unexpectedly. It was the absolute worst time in my life and they treated my husband, myself and our families with dignity and respect. The compassion they showed could be felt deep in my heart. I really needed them and they were there in many ways. The atmosphere is comfortable and very clean. The owners and staff were so wonderful, caring and loving. I felt that they too were a part of my family. I would recommend these wonderful people and their wonderful services to anyone and I certainly could never imagine my loved one's and myself going anywhere else. Thank you Lavigne Funeral Home for everything you've done for my husband, family and myself. Keep up the wonderful work you do!!!!! We are truly Blessed to have you!!!”

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.
