Go to your local VFW or American Legion hall. They will be able to help you.

You can burn it yourself. You just have to do it in a dignified manner.
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." |

are you sure all the relatives are gone?
Nephews, nieces? Or give it to a military collector so it can be taken care of and put on display in remembrance. VFW most likely will burn it, properly of course. |

He didn't say it was damaged. Buncha flag-burners jumpin' the gun here
 If undamaged there are probably lots of places that would take it off your hands if you didn't want to fly/display it yourself. Since he doesn't have anyone else left to do it, keep it and fly on holidays. |

I agree with MACD. Keep it, you are doing the man an honor. Tell people about him and his flag if they ask.

Thanks guys.
I may just keep it and fly it then. It appears to be in really good condition after 20 years of storage. I didn't know if that was an acceptable option being that it was a burial flag. Yes, I am certain that all his relatives are gone. The parents passed 20-25 years ago, maybe more. He and his 2 brothers never had children and they all passed within a year of each other 20 years ago. |
