Father-in-law should be receiving military honors but due to covid he will only receive flag. Was thinking about playing the salute over sound system. Need to know at what point to play and if it would be appropriate?

]]> Hello,

My father recently passed. He was married to my Mom, his present wife, for over 50 years; however, they were both previously married and had children from those marriages. How, if at all, should those children be included since the relationships have been strained for many years. I do not want to make it confusing as if my parents had more children together than they actually did.

Guidance appreciated.
