Public law, Title 10, United
States Code, section 1491, provides that all veterans who served their
country in military service under conditions not dishonorable are
entitled to military funeral honors. The Department of Defense and the
Veteran’s Administration have authorized veteran’s organizations such as
the VFW, American Legion and Marine Corp League to conduct military
funeral honors at a veteran’s funeral services.
