Veteran / Military Services

Military services are very similar to our traditional funeral services with a formal military ceremony.  The viewing/visitation is usually the night before the service and the funeral service is held the next day.  The flag will be displayed either on the casket or folded and placed in a spot of prominence.  Veteran / military services may include many of the elements of a traditional funeral such as DVD video tributes, readings, prayers, music, and eulogies with family and friends sharing memories of their loved ones.  The military ceremony usually consists of a flag folding presentation, the playing of Taps and if eligible, a rifle volley.  The preferred method to verify eligibility is the DD214.  Our funeral home staff will request the DD214 from the family in order to request military honors.
