Military Funeral Honors (MFH)
Honoring those who served on behalf of a grateful nation is our commitment to recognize sacrifice and contributions of our nation's veterans. The rendering of military funeral honors is one of the ways to show the nation's deep respect and gratitude to those who, in times of war and peace, have faithfully defended our country. The Ceremonial playing of Taps, the folding of the American flag and presenting it to the next-of-kin are the final demonstrations of gratitude that the nation can provide to veterans' families.
Operational since July 1, 1999, the Missouri Military Funeral Honors Program is a cooperative effort between the Missouri Army and Air National Guard, active components of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, Veterans Service Organizations, and Funeral Directors.
Our goal is to provide the right service, at the right time, in the right place, with the right team, 100 percent of the time.
