Bella Vista Honor Guard

The Bella Vista Honor Guard is looking for volunteers. With the increase in requests and special events, the Honor Guard may not be able to accommodate all events. Our Honor Guard can provide Military Honors at a funeral occurring within northwest Arkansas. A veteran's sendoff is demonstrating a nation's gratitude for the veteran's valor and service. Local funeral home directors can be contacted to initiate a request for military funeral honors for a deceased Veteran. Requests will need to include a proof of military service in the form of a DD-214 or Statement of Service. With additional volunteers, the Honor Guard can honor more requests. For more information, visit the Honor Guard's website at vetwallofhonor.org
