Every eligible veteran of the United States Armed Forces is entitled to a military funeral honors ceremony at their funeral or memorial service. The ceremony serves as a final thank-you from a grateful nation for their military service and is an extremely moving tribute. The military funeral honors ceremony is conducted by two or more uniformed military persons, with at least one member of the veteran’s branch of service. The service includes folding and presenting the United States burial flag to a surviving family member and the playing of Taps. Our funeral directors will assist you with arranging this special ceremony through a local veterans’ organization. Learn more here .

All honorably discharged veterans are eligible for a United States burial flag provided at no cost for their funeral or cremation services. The flag honors their military service to our country. The flag will drape the casket or accompany the cremation urn and be presented to the next of kin at the conclusion of the funeral service as a keepsake. Please note that this flag is not designed to be flown outside, because it is made of cotton and would be damaged by the weather. Our funeral directors will obtain the flag for your family.
