Which discharge status is NOT listed as losing funeral honors?

• A. Dishonorable Discharge
• B. Honorable Discharge
• C. Bad Conduct Discharge
• D. Under Other Than Honorable Conditions Discharge

Answer: (B)

Funeral honors eligibility is tied to the character of a service member’s discharge. Discharges that indicate misconduct or less-than-honorable service—dishonorable, bad conduct, or under other than honorable conditions—usually remove or limit eligibility for funeral honors. An honorable discharge, however, confirms that service was completed honorably and does not cause a loss of funeral honors. So the option that is not listed as losing funeral honors is the honorable discharge.
