In order to apply for any available military benefits, we must have a copy of the discharge called a Form DD-214 (Click here to see a sample Form DD-214).  Older veterans may have a discharge that simply reads “Record of Military Service”.  We cannot apply for any benefits without one of these discharge forms.  If you do not have a copy of the discharge, we will try to obtain a copy on your behalf.  You can also click here to request a copy of the discharge.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding military honors, please feel free to contact Malloy Funeral Home via phone at 215-739-7900 or 215-634-4202 or via email at andrew@rrfunerals.com
