Technically, anyone. A 'State Funeral' represents where the head(s) of State recognise an individual for their status in society. That status, in most cases, have come from a position within the government, ranging from Head of State downward. However, it may be offered in recognition of a communal status achieved, sometimes through an act of heroism, or contribution to the people.

As a generalisation, the rule of order included in State Policies and Procedures will often state: "The legislature shall honour with a State Funeral any person who at the time of death or before served as a: President, Leader, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge, MP, or similar, who has, in the opinion of the Legislature or House, has displayed exemplary service to the nation or her people, if the family of the deceased so agrees.

What services funeral home provides?

A funeral home provides a range of services. This will depend to some degree on how many staff they have and what staff are licensed for. Each funeral home should be licensed as a funeral establishment and have a licensed funeral director or mortician. A funeral home generally provides professional services to a family to arrange a funeral or cremation. This can be from a simple, basic cremation or burial through to an elaborate full-service traditional funeral. Funeral homes will also provide services such as assisting with the completion of death notification paperwork and bereavement counseling. Most funeral homes also sell funeral merchandise such as caskets, urns, memory books, grave markers, etc. The legislation governing funeral homes does vary state by state, so you do need to check local funeral laws specific to your state. The Federal Trade Commission's 'funeral rule' does govern the funeral industry as a whole but certain states are exempt from certain aspects due to their local state licensing.
