Military Funeral Honors
Whenever a Veteran is eligible, and the burial is local, we request Military Honors be provided by the "Joint Service Honors Command". They provide at the families request:
- Taps.
- 21-Gun Salute.
- Folding and presentation of the flag.
- Chaplain.
- Pall Bearers.
Determining Eligibility Of A Veteran
The preferred method to determine eligibility is the DD-214 (Honorable Discharge).
If you do not have a DD-214, a copy may be obtained by filling out a Standard Form 180 and sending it to:
National Personnel Records Center
9700 Page Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63132
