Losing anyone close to you can be extremely difficult. But losing a veteran is different. Our veterans have served their country in a unique fashion, taking on considerable risk in order to protect all the things that we hold dear. Their sacrifices should be remembered uniquely, as well. If you or someone you know is looking for funeral homes in or near Greenwood, IN, you should know there are options prepared to handle services for veterans. That kind of preparedness is important to you, and it is important to us, too. You shouldn’t have to settle for generic help, and you shouldn’t have to work with someone you don’t fully trust. That’s why we’re different. 

O’Riley - Branson Funeral Service & Crematory understands that every family and every kind of loss are different. They all deserve serious attention to detail and the kind of commitment you would expect during such a difficult and trying time. When it comes to celebrating the life of a veteran in appropriate fashion, we take our responsibilities very seriously. We know that those who serve our country should be recognized accordingly, and we don’t cut corners when it comes to doing so. You should rest assured that we can address your unique needs and work with you closely as you make the right kind of funeral arrangements. 

Veteran services can be very unique. When it comes to honoring those veterans, our standard honor military funerals may include the availability of a military chaplain, flag presentation service by a chaplain from the American Legion, and a final solute at the gravesite itself. These are the kind of measures that can really make a difference and set your funeral service apart in the right way. If you’re looking to set a certain kind of tone and send the right message, this is a good start. We also offer full honor military services that include all the previous items along with some additional things. Those things include a 21 gun salute (depending upon rank), having the United States flag draped over the casket and presented to next of kin following services, and the live or recorded playing of Taps. 

Of course, you can also speak with one of our funeral directors about doing other things that may make sense in your particular case. We work very closely with families to get things just right. Every funeral is different, and every family has unique needs. We take that very seriously and work to accommodate your requests whenever it is remotely possible. The important thing is that we celebrate your loved one’s life and service to their country in a dignified and caring fashion. When this kind of need emerges, you shouldn’t hesitate to begin making plans with those who you can trust and rely upon.
