Flag cases

[Steven Roos]

I need a case for my grandfather's flag I recieved today. (RIP Grandpa )

Anyone know where I can find a nice case? I would like to have an engraving plate to put some things on. Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend Medals of America/ US Medals. I have used them in the past and they do high quality work.

I raise a glass to your grandfather. May he rest in peace.

Hate to read that. One thing, do NOT buy a flag case from a funeral home unless you like the 100 to 200% mark up. Another place to try is any trophy shop, that's where we got my wife's Dad's flag case. They did the custom engraving and all for IIRC, a fairly reasonable price.

Glad to hear they did not try to sell you a case. Unfortunately the funeral home I dealt with was not as good in that regard.

They actually never offered to sell us a case. They were very nice in that regard. They never tried to force us to buy anything.

I'll try a trophy shop. I already have a place for engraving (it will probably be free), but the only place I've seen with a flag case was a craft store, and it was way overpriced for how poorly it was made.

I just registered and searched around with no luck. Any idea what this guy's name is? Thanks.
