Military Funeral Plans

In order to make military funeral plans, you must first prove the deceased’s eligibility by presenting a DD Form 214 to the funeral director. This is the form that is given to a military member upon their retirement, separation, or discharge from active duty in one of the various branches of the United States Armed Forces. After this form is presented to the funeral director, they will verify its authenticity and begin the arrangement process. The funeral director will then contact the appropriate Military Service to request funeral honors and begin the arrangement process. To request a copy of the DD Form 214, please visit here for more information.

    Eligibility

    The following outlines the various requirements to be eligible for military funeral honors: 
    • Military members on active duty or in the Selected Reserve. 
    • Former military members who served on active duty and departed under conditions other than dishonorable. 
    • Former military members who completed at least one term of enlistment or period of initial obligated service in the Selected Reserve and departed under conditions other than dishonorable. 
    • Former military members discharged from the Selected Reserve due to a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.
