In September of 1995 the Gilbert Family purchased the funeral home. In 1996 thru 1997, extensive remodeling and updating of the funeral home was done to make the facility more accessible to the public and changed the name to Booker-Gilbert Funeral Home.

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.

Kevin has always been good to our family & we have a large family. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do what he does. He didn’t have an easy task when it came to my mom but he made her look like herself & beautiful again. Compassionate yet very professional is what he & his wife Kim have shown to my family & we can’t thank them enough

It's a pretty damn shame when a son can't even go to their own mothers funeral. I've seen police officers walk in prisioners to there mom's funeral. But because of some people who didnt even hear my exact words running their mouth I also got kicked out of my other mom's funeral. So as far as I'm concerned, your funeral home since bookers left, you people don't have the first bit of sorrow for anyone. I guarantee you whatever it takes, your funeral eral home will belong to someone else when I'm done with court.
