For most military families, receiving a knock at the door to reveal an individual in uniform is a shock as they receive the news about the passing of a loved one. All persons on duty regardless of rank are provided dignified transport arrangements. Military Funeral Services are different from traditional ceremonies as it delivers a number of formal processes and honors the sacrifices made by the deceased.
These matters are often handled with the transport of a flag covered casket to an airbase. The body is handled with care and the utmost respect until it reaches the funeral home where it is prepared for the ceremony. In most instances, the deceased member will be dressed in complete uniform as a sign of respect, honor, and duty.
All personnel will be transferred in a casket with feet first while being saluted at every transfer point. Such funerals emphasize the honor, integrity, and the dignity of persons who have passed on. A number of standard measures are implemented regardless of whether individuals were on duty, honorably discharged or have been retired.
The casket will arrive covered in a flag including honor men to carry the coffin to the grave site. It is at this time that the pastor or appointed person will read a few passages in following the traditional process of a burial. A flag is presented and later folded to be provided for the family members in honoring the service and duty of the deceased.
In some instances, the family may request that the body be handed over for a private burial service. All staff are provided the option of a traditional procession with focus placed on dignity, honor, and integrity. These standards are implemented regardless of the event in which the person had passed on.
