Dougherty Funeral Home is the oldest locally family owned and operated funeral home in Duluth. Thomas R. Dougherty opened Dougherty Funeral Home in 1917 in Hibbing, MN. In 1948 his son, Thomas A. Dougherty, moved to Duluth and opened Dougherty Funeral Home at its current location. Tom was later joined by his son, Daniel Dougherty, and retired after 40 years of operation.
Dougherty Funeral Home staff is committed to helping families through the difficult process of arranging a funeral for a loved one. We do so with the highest degree of integrity and caring professionalism. We understand the significance of this life event so attending to every detail is of our utmost importance.
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).
