Our American Legion Post will do it.

Yes, our Honor Guard too. 3 volleys, taps on the bugle, fold and present the flag, taps on the bugle, and we've done that on a moment's notice in some cases. Our chaplains will officiate if asked. We can even scare up a motorcycle escort if requested. Post, Auxiliary, Sons, and Riders, the American Legion family will step up. Dayum, it is a sacred honor to be a part of the final rites for a veteran. NO VETERAN should be laid to rest without FULL honors. SHAME ON THE AIR FORCE.

Now, about them pulling the Bible from the POW-MIA table at PAFB...

whoops, no echo taps, that was a typo. I will add that you do not need to be a Legionnaire to receive these honors. And if the family needs further assistance, there is a Service Officer ready to slice the red tape.
