What are veterans honor services?

Retired Military
Military honors are available to all veterans regardless of rank or location of burial. If you are retired military with 20 years or more of service, an active duty honor guard can be requested from your branch of service. The ceremony can consist of a Chaplain to speak, flag folding and presentation to next of kin, rifle salute and the playing of TAPS.

Honorably Discharged Veterans with less than 20 years
Volunteer, local veterans groups can be requested for Military Honors requests. Typically these are retired veterans with incredible service histories. The ceremony can consist of a Chaplain to speak, flag folding, presentation and the playing of TAPS. Rifle Salute is not regulation but is often offered. Payment is not required but these groups accept donations.

Wood Flag Cases
The Military provides a wood flag case for any active duty deaths.
