Military Funeral Honors are ceremonial tributes provided to eligible veterans and active-duty service members upon their death. These honors typically include the folding and presentation of the American flag, the playing of Taps, and a rifle salute, reflecting the respect and gratitude of the nation for their service. The program is designed to recognize the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families. It is available to those who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, as well as members of the Merchant Marine and Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
