MILITARY FUNERAL SERVICES

MILITARY FUNERAL SERVICES

We are deeply honoured to provide funerals for those who have proudly served in the Armed Forces. We understand the importance of recognising a life of service and sacrifice, and we ensure that every military funeral is carried out with the highest levels of dignity, respect, and tradition.

Whether your loved one served recently or many years ago, we can help arrange all aspects of a military funeral. This may include the presence of standard bearers, regimental colours, military escorts, or the playing of the Last Post, depending on your wishes and the availability of the relevant associations.

We work closely with families to ensure every detail reflects their loved one’s service and legacy. From arranging military or regimental insignia on the coffin, to wreaths in regimental colours, through to full ceremonial honours, we can tailor the service to meet your family’s wishes.

Our role is to support you every step of the way, providing guidance and care while ensuring your loved one receives a fitting farewell that recognises their duty, dedication, and courage.

OUR EXPERIENCE WITH MILIARY FUNERAL SERVCES

Mark, with his extensive knowledge and experience, ensures that every military funeral is carried out with the highest level of care and professionalism.

Military funerals are a deeply meaningful way to honour the service and sacrifice of individuals who dedicated their lives to the Armed Forces. These services often include traditional elements such as a flag-draped coffin, the playing of The Last Post, and a firing party — each serving as a poignant tribute to the life and duty of the deceased.

Mark has not only conducted full military funerals but has also trained many military officers to become Family Liaison Officers, supporting families through the most difficult of times. Over the years, he has worked closely with 40 Commando in Taunton, building trusted relationships and gaining unique experience in ensuring that these services are both personal and meaningful.

We invite you to view the photos and videos shared on our Facebook page, including our coffin dressed in military honours and the tribute displayed on the wall at our Minehead premises, as examples of the respect and tradition we uphold.

At Robson Funeral Services, it is our privilege to ensure that every military funeral reflects the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who served.
