Specifically in Philadelphia, I would like to know what the eligibility requirements are for an Honorary Burial

In general, they would probably get the funeral if the family wanted it. I doubt they would make the huge show out of the service similar to those when an officer is slain in the line of duty, but an honor guard and an escort of PPD officers would be likely.
To find out the specific agency guidelines, I would recommend you contact the Philadelphia Police Department.

The term for a burial in the line of duty is called An Inspector's Funeral. Normally officers from around the country will come and pay their respects for the officer and his family.
Retired officers, depending on the man power availability will be given an honor detail if requested by the family.

where i live, yes. the only way that the deceased is not entitled to a 'honor burial' is if they did not actually retire or were discharged for a less then honorable reason. How they died is irrelevant.

i would think so! IF A MAN OR WOMAN has worked in law enforcement all their working life, say 30 years fo a police department, then retire, and die, i would think that he police force, even in philadelphia, would have enough class to recognize that person and give them honors!

I think those honors are reserved for those killed in the line of duty.

In NC: yes if the family requests it.
