My nephew's funeral
 

It was yesterday in the Gettysburg area. Full military honors and a 100 car motorcade to the cemetery. A local ex-military biker group escorted along with troopers and sheriffs. The bikers had huge American flags on their bikes along with one having a Marine Corp flag which was presented to my SIL at the casket. The ride to the cemetery gave me the goose bumps a few times.

Rough day but he got sent off right. RIP Max.

Rest in Peace brother....:halfmast: I have escorted more brothers to their final resting place more times than I care to think about. It's always a very sombering experience. :(

So sorry :sadangel:

I always looked at everyone in the military as my brother and sister. Now that I've retired I see them as my sons and daughters. God speed.

Sounds like your nephew received a truly honorable and touching send-off. It's heartwarming to hear about the support from the local community, especially the ex-military biker group and law enforcement.
These moments, despite being tough, can also be incredibly meaningful.
On a somewhat related note, I've been dealing with a recent loss in my family as well. While browsing, I came across an eco-friendly burial option called water-based cremation, which seems like a thoughtful choice for those who care about the environment.
