The Watson Funeral Home is a family owned and operated independent business that was founded in 1929 by the late Arthur Watson and operated by he and his wife, Lillian, until they retired in 1959. Ernest Ladd Jr. purchased the firm in 1962 and operated the funeral home until his retirement in 1992.
Ernest Ladd III then took over the family business and operated it along with his wife Jean, son, Ernest 'Chip' Ladd IV, and licensed funeral director and son in law, Ronald Naum. In the spring of 2011, Ernest Ladd III announced the merger of the Watson Funeral Home, Inc. with the LaRobardiere Funeral Home, Inc. of Camden, NY.

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.
