Military & Veterans Funerals
In the United Kingdom a military funeral takes place when a serving member the British Armed Forces (Royal Navy, Army, Royal Marines or the Royal Air Force) has died in active service.
Veterans and heads of state may also have a military honours funeral. Whilst in the United Kingdom there is no standard military funeral there are elements that are common to many.
At A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service we believe the people who have fought for our country should, if they wish, be given the military traditions they deserve with as much ease as possible.
We are pleased to have A.W. Lymn Funeral Director Neil Reeves, a Royal Navy veteran who, as an experienced funeral director and military man has guided us to put together a military funeral package.
A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service Military and Veterans Funeral Package:
- Assistance from a veteran funeral director
- Union Flag coffin pall (drape) or a regimental drape (if available)
- Assistance to arrange the attendance of a standard bearer
- Recorded last post for act of remembrance or a FOC bugler for the act of remembrance
- Assistance to arrange Veterans Guard of honour
- Arrangement of a poppy wreath from the service
We are pleased to have partnered with Veterans Bereavement Support, a community-based organisation providing free advice and information for all those who have served in the Armed Forces and Merchant Navy over the years.
