On the escalating cost of funeral service: the cost of funeral services to the consumer has increased significantly in the last decade due to the consolidation of funeral business and the overbuilding of funeral homes by individual owners. Many times former owner's or their families regret selling a funeral home and build a low budget funeral home to compete with the old business.

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.

I have to say that during one of the lowest times in my life Mr. Tommy and Mrs. Doris were a shinning light. They were with us through every step. They both made us fill as if we were not alone. They took such great care of grandma as if she was their family. They both went above and beyond. We are ever so grateful for them.

Absolutely terrible. Do not give these people your business. My friend just lost his Father, he is 18, in school, and had to use gofundme to pay for the funeral. When Mr. North found out it was crowd funded, he charged an additional $2400 dollars and threatened to press legal charges!! Against a teenager who just lost his father!!
They did not provide music, a service, or anything besides a room and air conditioning. These people are extortionists, and are not true Christians. If we had the money, we would sue.
I would absolutely never recommend these scammers.
