MILITARY FUNERAL HONOR



The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the Unites stated flag to the veterans’ family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by the 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. They type of Funeral Honors may be Full Military Honors, 7 Persons Detail or a Standard Honor Team Detail.

At least one of the funeral honors detail will be from the Armed Forces in which the deceased veteran served. Taps may be played by a bugler or, if a bugler is not available, by using a quality recorded version. Military Funeral Honor Teams may act as Pall Bearers if requested by the veteran/family.

To obtain funeral honors as a veteran or a family member of a veteran, you must have a copy of the
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, Department of Defense Form 214 (discharge paperwork). This documentation should be given to the funeral home you have selected. The funeral home will contact the Casualty Area Command (CAC) (1-800-350-7746) that handles your state. The CAC will then locate a Funeral Honors Team in your area to cover your veteran’s funeral.
