I have a question about securing Military Honors for my father's memorial. Its a little non-conventional in that he is becoming part of an eternal reef (web address is www.eternalreefs.com if you're interested).

Anyway, my mom found out last night from the people at eternal reef's that the Military Honors that they coordinate include 1 member from each of the services - however, my thought is that when a Marine is laid to rest he should be sent off only by Marines. Does anyone know how I can go about arranging for a Marine Honor Guard myself?

Thanks in advance for your help!

you'll need to contact HQMC casualty branch and they assign the nearest Marine station (usually I&I) to do th honors.
