When you face the hardship of losing a military member, creating a memorial tribute is challenging. Military funeral services honor our country’s brave heroes, esteeming and glorifying their fight for freedom. Here at Trumbull, CT’ s Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, we’re offering a helpful guide on funeral plans for military personnel.

Laws of Military Burials

All eligible veterans receive the right to a military ceremony under the law, and this ceremony is free of cost to families. Eligibility applies to all service members who participated in the armed forces, whether they were lost in the line of duty or a proud veteran. The ceremony includes an honor guard with two or more military members, which displays the highest respect and honor for those who served.

Practices of Military Burials

While your loved one is guaranteed these honors, there are additional choices available based on the deceased’s service, such as the 21 gun salute. As funeral home staff, we will guide you through this process to create a respectful, highly honorable ceremony. 

Making Funeral Plans

Due to military practice, family members should request these arrangements at least 48 hours prior to the ceremony. If you’re struggling, our funeral home staff will help put together a ceremony in the most compassionate and efficient manner. Since these ceremonies are so well-deserved, we will ensure you receive the most desirable memorial imaginable. As a military family, you deserve to honor your hero in the most respectful way. 

If you have experienced the loss of a service member, we at Abriola Parkview Funeral Home will utilize every resource available to create a distinguished ceremony. We will help you with planning, funeral services, and the healing process itself. Visit our website for additional information, or call (203) 373-1013 today.
