The order for receiving the veteran's flag typically follows a set pattern:
As an example, my mother received my father's flag. When he died, the 2nd eldest child took guardianship over the flag. When the 2nd eldest died, her children took guardianship over the flag.
the spouse unless he/she is deceased then the mother/father unless he/she is deceased then in that case the oldest living child .
It is supposed to be the oldest child if the spouse is no longer alive or there is no spouse
The spouse if there is one. The mother if there is not. The next of kin then.
The wife would. In the absence of a wife, it would be the parents. In the absence of parents, it would be the closest blood relative.
Who ever the family chooses.

The Flag is provided by the US Military during a military funeral. All US Servicemen/women who were honorably discharged or Generally Discharged under Honorable Conditions from service are entitled to have Military honors at their burial. This service is provided by the US Military, and a detail can be provided by the nearest military installation if available. When one cannot be provided, an honor guard can be arranged with the Local chapter of the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) chapter. MORE SPECIFICALLY -- The funeral home typically obtains the flag from the Department of Veterans Affairs, but through the local U.S. Post Office. A flag request form must be presented. The family may also submit this form directly and request delivery.
