Veterans deserve a special ceremony when they pass away. Whether they have given their life while serving our country or if they pass away many years later, they deserve something special.
John Zalewski, a veteran who owns several funeral homes throughout the New Jersey area, has a plan to give deceased veterans special provisions when they die. In addition to the flags draping the caskets, the Twenty-One Gun Salute and other ceremonial offerings, he would like to put a magnetic decal representing their branch of the service on either side of the Cadillac hearse. That way, people driving on the roads will know a veteran’s funeral procession is going by. In addition to that, he would also like to place an American flag on each car involved in the procession for even more attention. The drivers of the funeral cars would also be allowed to keep the flag as a keepsake from the event.
“Our staff has always felt that most people do not notice the American Flag draped casket in the back of the hearse,” explained Zalewski. “We wanted to do something more noticeable. Something that would alert everyone that a Veteran, one who has sacrificed so much for so many, has died and draw attention to the procession, giving the Veteran and their family the recognition and respect they deserve.”
