Callaghan Mortuary & Livermore Crematory

Military units must provide a uniformed detail of at least two representatives. These service members will perform the two core elements of a military funeral playing “Taps” and presenting the U.S. Flag to the decedent’s next of kin. The military may sanction further honors based on certain qualifications and the preferences of the fallen service member’s family. The burial location may also influence elements of the ceremony.
