Before we can begin to plan a military funeral for your loved one, we must first determine the deceased’s eligibility. This is done by providing us with a copy of the deceased’s DD Form 214. This is an important document that is provided to a member of the military upon their discharge, retirement, or separation from active duty in one of the branches of the United States Armed Forces.
Once this form has been presented to the funeral director, we will contact the appropriate offices to verify its authenticity. Upon verification, we will contact the appropriate Military Service to request funeral honors and can begin making funeral arrangements with your family.
