HONORING OUR VETS
NOVEMBER 8, 2019
Higgins from page 3B The basic military funeral honors ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veteran’s family, and the playing of “Taps.” The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the armed forces. Higgins Chapel offers all services for veterans, with options including open-casket visitation, transportation to churches or other places of religious worship, and services featuring an urn or memorial photograph and graveside services at any cemetery, including the national cemeteries in Dixon and Santa Nella/Gustine. “The funeral director will work with the family at their time of need to coordinate which types of services are a best fit to honor the veteran and meet the needs of the family,” said Darren Carter, Higgins Chapel funeral director and embalmer. Choosing a personalized service for a loved one is significant. “Our goal is to make sure the family feels they have done everything possible to honor their loved one,” said Rodriguez. “Whether with a complete burial service, or an intimate moment amongst family, we want to be able to send the family home with a sense of fullness that they honored their loved one well.” According to Rodriguez, one of the most common remarks made at the end
