TYPES OF FUNERAL
Veteran & service funerals
A funeral with military honours — standards, a regimental cap and medals, and the bearing that service life deserves.
For those who served, a funeral can carry the marks of that service. We work with regimental associations, the Royal British Legion and standard bearers to arrange honours appropriate to the branch, regiment and rank — from a simple draping of the Union Flag to a full turnout of standards at the door.
We will make the approaches on your behalf, confirm what the association can provide and in what timescale, and make certain the medals, cap and flag are presented and returned to the family exactly as you wish.
