Veterans

HONOR GUARD AND FLAG: Any veteran honorably discharged from military service is entitled to receive military honors on the day of the funeral. We arrange for this providing we have a DD214 document or an honorable discharge certificate from the veteran or the veteran's family. This document enables us to obtain a 5'x 8' U.S. made cotton United States flag from the U.S. Post Office. Before the funeral, we schedule a flag folding and taps with the military Honor Guard. Dependent on qualifications, military pall bearers and a 21 gun salute may also be given to the deceased veteran at the funeral. The flag will be presented to the spouse or the appropriate immediate next-of-kin.

BURIALS: We arrange for the burial no matter what type of cemetery: private, family-owned, municipal, state, national, local or out-of-state. The nearest national cemetery with available plots is Salisbury National Cemetery. Salisbury, North Carolina is approximately a two hour drive or 125 miles from the funeral home. For veterans who have not purchased a plot and do not plan on being buried in a national cemetery, we are giving them a free grave located at Pine Forest Memorial Gardens in Wake Forest, NC. The family will only have to pay for cemetery perpetual care and the opening and closing fee. The situation must be at need. Burials can still occur if burying cremains in an urn.
