Joynes Funeral Home was founded in 1938 by Henry W. Joynes, a pioneering young man and a licensed funeral director from Cheriton, Virginia. He and his wife, Augustine, settled in Warrenton, Virginia and operated three locations: Warrenton, Falls Church, and Washington, D.C. During this time, Joynes Funeral Home was only one of two African-American owned funeral homes in Northern Virginia.
Also during this time, professionalism, dignity, and the true ethic of "serve thy brother" were born as cornerstones of Joynes Funeral Home's operation. The 1960s saw many new changes. George Woodson Joynes, son of Henry W., joined the firm and helped to continue the tradition for which the firm had become well known.

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.
