It turned out to be a real blessing for my sister and I. My parents died within 2 months of each other last fall. They were from different religious backgrounds and we weren’t sure what to do.
Dad was a vet of WWII - and my sister had the idea of looking into the National Cemetery. It was the perfect solution for us on so many fronts.
Dad’s funeral was absolutely beautiful .. poetic really - the 21 gun salute .. taps w/the bugler off in the woods .. it was cool, misty and rainy..
When Mom passed away a mere two monthes later it was comforting to know they would be together.
I’m sorry that you lost your parents so close together.
A military service is very moving. One of our boys is a officer in the Navy. He was able to make arrangements to present me with the flag. It was a surprise to me and very emotional for him. The cemetery people said that was a first for them, and they cried along with the rest of us.
