I used Beyers Funeral Home for both of my parents. I made arrangements ahead of time (inclluding giving them copies of my dad's DD-214) as well as copies of each of their birth certificates. When each of them passed while in a nursing home, I simply told the funeral home to contact Beyers. They made the arrangements with Bushnell, contacted the Navy and arranged for a firing party and chaplain. There are a number of designated shelters for graveside services (including firing party and bugler).
I have given them the necessary documents for both my wife and myself. Having a loved one pass away is difficult enough. Having to make all sort of arrangements is just more stress.
