I posted something along the same line in the PIT, but I know many don't enter therein, so.
In my area of the country, and every funeral I've ever attended, the only flag draped coffins and flag presentations I've ever witnessed where for military service or an officer killed in the line of duty. I was taught, and have the understanding, that this is an honor reserved for these servants. Every person I asked this question locally yesterday seems to understand as I.
Is this just a regional thing, as I seem to have a problem with just anyone being able to receive this honor. If it's common for anyone to have a flag presentation service, does it cheapen that honor for service personnel?
Curious about what is customary in your neck o the woods.
