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).

If I could give them a 0 I would. We had a delivery too early, 20 weeks, so lost our child before we got to know her. On our first meeting with Marianna Chapel the owner's son, Charles, was just blunt and thoughtless. No I am sorry for your loss or anything, just cold questions. We then asked to see our child again before she was cremated. This question was met with a finding that our child was in fact in Panama City and setting up a time was difficult and only seemed like an inconvenience to Charles to arrange. Days later we received a call that if we wanted to see her again we would have to be

Marianna Chapel is the very best! My grandfather passed away Sunday at 1:30 am. They came as quickly as possible! Jared and Kody were extremely nice and thoughtful to my family! They were gentle with my grandaddy and comforting to my granny and family! They asked several times if we needed anything or if there was anything they could do for us! We were told by several people that they have never seen someone look as good as my grandaddy did, especially considering how sickly my grandaddy looked! He wasn't caked in make up, his beard looked natural, he truly looked like my grandaddy! I would recommend

My Mother in Law passed away on December 24, 2016 at 7pm, we contacted Marianna Chapel Funeral Home. Mr. Whitehead and his associate came to the house with so much professionalism and patience, I want to thank all the staff with their word of encouragement and support and the service they provided. I also want to thank Pastor John for his word of comfort he gave at the grave site. On behalf of my family I want to thank every single one of you for your support at this most difficult time.
