When a veteran is laid to rest, the family is often presented with a folded United States flag. It’s one of the most meaningful things they’ll take home, but many families are unsure how to keep it protected and properly displayed. A memorial flag case solves that problem. It’s a wood and glass case made to hold the folded burial flag, keeping it safe from dust and handling wear while displaying it with dignity. At Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, one team helps you choose a veteran flag case display that suits your loved one, and personalizes it to your family’s wishes. Below are the options East Bay families turn to most.
The right case for your flag depends on the flag itself and where it will be kept. Here are the flag display cases East Bay families choose most often. We help you select and personalize your choice from our Oakland chapel.
The classic choice for a wooden flag case for a veteran is a triangular case with a glass front. We offer finishes including oak, walnut and cherry. Each choice protects the folded flag while keeping it visible and honored in the family home.
A military flag display case is sized to the flag itself. We help you match a standard case to a burial flag, or an oversized case to a larger interment flag, so the fit is correct and the flag sits the way it should. We’ll go through the choices with you so you have the correct case.
A folded flag case in Oakland can be personalized for your veteran. We can engrave a name, rank and dates, or add the insignia of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard, so the veteran flag case display reflects the person it honors.
Some families want to display all their veterans’ honors. A combination burial flag display case holds the folded flag alongside medals, insignia or a small photograph, placing a veteran’s honors into one piece the family can keep for generations.
Your family works with one team to arrange the service, choose a personalized flag case and coordinate every detail. A veteran’s burial flag is handled with the care and respect it earned, then prepared as a lasting tribute your family can display for years to come.
According to their website, the U.S. Postal Service partners with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide nearly 500,000 U.S. flags to veterans’ families each year.
