“I cannot express how wonderful Wagley's was during one of the hardest weeks my family and I have ever experienced. They were so personal and attentive throughout the entire process. Guiding us step by step from planning to the day of the funeral. We were able to accomplish everything within a week. If you ever need to plan a funeral and want to say goodbye in the most personable way I highly recommend working with Wagley Funeral Homes. We had family outside of Michigan that could not make it in but they were still able to be part of the service with a live stream and a recording. They made us feel like family.”
“My immediate family has used Wagley Funeral Home for three services. I live out of state and with this last service, Eric was very helpful and responsive. I appreciated his attention to detail. Everything was very professional and I did not have to worry about a thing. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.”
“The entire staff is professional and compassionate. At a difficult time, they made things beautiful and seamless. I will always be grateful for their service and the way in which we were able to honor my mom’s life. Thank you, Wagley’s!”
“The team at Wagley made all of our wishes possible. They had solutions for location, catering, and accommodated our music with no problems at all. Most of all we were very grateful about how our father looked. He was clearly taken care of by someone who puts their heart into their work. That made us very happy indeed.”
“What a compassionate, professional, kind and caring group of people! Could not have asked for more, they all want to go above and beyond! And it is so evident from every little detail they remember to take care of to fulfilling each wish we had...it truly felt like we could call anytime for anything, even if it seemed a silly request at the last second. We used them in 2000 when our dad passed away and we had no clue what to do. When our mom passed away recently there was some comfort in seeing David's face again. He and his wife still take great pride in their business and made us feel very important to them. It sounds strange I know but our mom would have enjoyed her funeral and it's because of the details and the touches the Wagley family put on it. Thank you! We are about to start planning her burial that we had planned at her funeral to do in the spring and I'm hoping for as good an experience as they advised it should be!”
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.
