The casket selection is a very personal decision and an expression of individuality. A casket that reflects the personality and taste of your loved one can be one of the most important final tributes to their life. Our Casket display room is well lighted and pleasant to make your difficult job a little easier. We show the full casket (not just small cut-off’s) so you can see exactly what you are choosing. Gaines Funeral Home understands these needs and offers a wide variety of caskets and and alternative containers as well as rental caskets. A complete casket price list will be provided at our funeral home.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans’ 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.

The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran. The type of Funeral Honors may be Full Military Honors, 7 Person Detail or a Standard Honors Team Detail.

At least one of the funeral honors detail will be from the Armed Force in which the deceased veteran served. Taps may be played by a bugler or, if a bugler is not available, by using a quality recorded version. Military Funeral Honor Teams may act as Pall Bearers if requested by the veteran/family.
