The Alexandria - Pineville Honor Guard provides the following services:

• Funerals ( military honors) 
• Flag Education
• Posting of the National Colors 

Funerals (Military Honors)

Recent changes in the law now affords all veterans the right to have at least two active military members present at a funeral. Unfortunately in most cases veterans will only get two active duty personnel in attendance. This means that full honors are not normally rendered to the departed member. 

The Alexandria - Pineville Veterans Honor Guard will be glad to assist active duty military personnel in rendering full honors. We will coordinate with the active duty military members to assure our departed comrades are given a dignified service. 

We assist by folding and presenting the flag (in the case of active duty personnel attending the flag is presented to next of kin by the active duty officer). We also fire volleys (gun salute) and play taps.

If you would like to have our assistance at a funeral for a veteran please contact the funeral director handling the services or refer to our contact list.
