The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death.

If I could give them a 0 I would. They have had my love one for over 1 month. At first we were told 12 to 14 days. Then they said 12 to 14 business days. Yesterday made 1 month and they keep saying is someone will call you back. We just want to begin the grieving process. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Next call I will be making will be to my lawyer. This is beyond ridiculous.

I recently placed a call to the Gallaher office to get some information and I was very favorably impressed. I spoke with Todd Garfield, the funeral director, who was kind, professional, knowledgeable and empathetic. He not only explained options; it was clear from our conversation that this funeral home will go above and beyond what one might expect in helping people through this process. After that conversation and a very quick response from Todd to a follow up question by email, I would recommend Gallaher with confidence. If you have the sad task of making final arrangements for a loved one,
