FHD Pay:
Funeral Honors Duty is a great way, as a reservist to make a little extra money and earn some points towards retirement. For completing a Funeral Honors request you will earn one drill pay and one point. You may complete more than one funeral per day but may only earn up to one point and one drill pay per day. Additional funerals per day may entitle you for additional mileage reimbursement at the government mileage rate listed on the IRS website. For additional info about drill pay check out the Pay & Benefits page.
DTS for FHD:
For reservists serving on a Funeral Honors Detail you might be eligible for travel reimbursement if you drive your own vehicle and travel more than 100 miles round-trip. This requires setting up an active duty DTS account in addition to your reserve DTS account.
