“I had a decent experience with Winterville Cremation. They were mostly respectful and did not try to upsell me when it came to my loved one's arrangements. An area of improvement would be not being over 10 minutes late to an appointment time that they suggested. I did not find that to be respectful.”
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.
