Retire Your American Flag in The Most Respectful, Dignified and Safest Way Possible
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
American Flags should be retired if they are
- Torn and tattered beyond repair
- Sun-bleached or extremely faded
Many of today’s flags are composed of synthetic fibers. These Fibers
- Burn at an accelerated rate
- The flames can be difficult to control
- Will emit noxious gases harmful to humans and
local ecosystems
Donate your American Flag to Skorupski Family Funeral Homes to ensure your flag will be
- Retired in a dignified and respectful manner
- Safely disposed of in a controlled environment without the risk of harming others or local ecosystems
- Disposed by the preferred method in compliance to United States Flag Code, Title 4, Section 8k
Your flag will be retired in the most patriotic and respectful way possible. By being placed and cremated with a veteran who has bravely served our great nation.
All families and local businesses who retire their American Flag with Skorupski Family Funeral Homes will receive an Official Flag Retirement Certificate to honor and remember your act of patriotism and responsibility.

Thank you to Spencer and his team. They managed a very tough life event for my family with comfort, care, and patience. Their attention to every detail was excellent. They thought of things or took care of things our family had not even considered.
The day of the service Spencer and his team were professional and anticipated every need my family had. They take care of families at a very emotional time in their life and I would not have anyone else by your side but Skorupski. Thank you for the 5 star service.
