The McIlvaine-Speakman Funeral Home Ltd. was originally founded as the Armour Funeral Home in 1917 by W. M. Armour. The original location was in the Southeast corner of the intersection of Main and Pike Streets in Houston, PA. In 1926 L. P. Speakman joined the firm and became a partner with W.M. Armour in 1931.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
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.

McIlvaine funeral home has handled the passing of 3 of my children & my mother. They get 5 🌟 s. Because we was treated like we was family. On one occasion. They made sure I got a copy of everything such as photos etc. Because of a split up between parents. They will make sure your loved one is treated with the utmost respect. Highly recommended.

My family and I were treated with respect and caring during the death of my husband. We were guided through all the steps gently and very respectful. When going through the unexpected death of someone so… loved, it is very hard to think straight. They helped in every aspect of the funeral. It was a relief to have them. I didn't have to worry about anything, they guided us through.

I had chose Mcllvaine-Speakman Funeral Home due to their great reputation, they were my first choice when deciding. They payed very close attention to detail and really took into consideration with what we wanted and expected. They were very professional and it helped with our situation during that time.
