𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓

At Conner Family Funeral Home, we take great pride in honoring those who have served our country — not only in how we care for our veterans, but in how we handle the flags that represent their service.

Just inside the front entrance of our funeral home, you’ll find our 𝑹𝙚𝒕𝙞𝒓𝙚 𝙔𝒐𝙪𝒓 𝑭𝙡𝒂𝙜 𝙬𝒊𝙩𝒉 𝑯𝙤𝒏𝙤𝒓 receptacle — a beautiful, handmade wooden box built by our friend Dean Gleghorn, in loving memory of his father, A. V. Gleghorn (1896–1980), a proud World War I veteran.

Through this program, members of our community are invited to bring in their worn or tattered U.S. flags for proper retirement. When we handle the cremation of a veteran, we respectfully drape one of these retired flags over them, and that flag is cremated alongside them — a final act of honor and gratitude.

Before cremation, a single star is carefully cut from the flag and placed on a certificate presented to the veteran’s family as a keepsake, symbolizing our nation’s enduring appreciation for their loved one’s service.

𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙖 to offer such a meaningful program. We invite you to stop by anytime to retire your flag with honor and help us continue this tradition of respect. 🇺🇸

💚 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙮 💚

Conner Family Funeral Home is deeply grateful for the 𝑨𝒓𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒔 𝑵𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅 and their service to families across our state. This dedicated group of volunteer nurses provides a touching and dignified tribute to honor fellow nurses upon their passing.

Dressed in traditional white uniforms and capes, the Honor Guard performs the 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙚—a beautiful ceremony that includes the lighting and extinguishing of a lamp in remembrance, the presentation of a white rose to the family, and a final roll call releasing the nurse from their earthly duties. It is a moving way to express gratitude to those who devoted their lives to caring for others.

We are proud to partner with the 𝘼𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙨 𝙉𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧 𝙂𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙 and will arrange for their presence at any service we handle for a nurse in our area. Their ceremony is a meaningful and heartfelt gesture of respect for a life spent in compassionate service.

To the nurses who have cared for so many, and to the Arkansas Nurses Honor Guard who now care for their memory — thank you for your commitment, compassion, and dedication. 💙

🌿 Meet Our Staff: Karen McElwain 🌿

Karen serves as our Evening and Weekend Receptionist here at Conner Family Funeral Home. She and her late husband, Terry, retired to Mountain Home in 2004, where she has continued to make her home. Originally from central Illinois, Karen’s career path took her through Indiana and Texas before retiring from Verizon. Even after retirement, her compassionate nature led her to continue serving families in the funeral profession.

A member of St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, Karen is known for her dependability, strong work ethic, and kind heart. Her personal mission is beautifully summed up by a favorite quote from Emily Dickinson:

“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.”

We’re grateful for Karen’s steady presence and the kindness she brings to our Conner Family team. 💙
