to be carried to the cemetery on a caisson, the
caisson must be equipped with a casket container
into which the urn may be placed. The flag bear-
ers then lay the open fiag over the casket con-
tainer in the same manner prescribed for a
casket, the blue union of the flag covering the left
corner of what would normally be the head end
of the casket. When the procession moves off, the
flag bearers and urn bearer follow the caisson in
the same position indicated for the body bearers
in figure 10. If no caisson is provided, the remains
may be placed in the hearse on a suitable stand or
rack and the folded flag may be ;placed beside the
urn. If neither a hearse nor a caisson is used, suit-
able transportation must be provided for the urn
bearer and the flag bearers.
(4) At the graveside, the ceremony is con-
ducted generally as described in paragraph 11.
When the urn bearer has placed the urn on the
lowering device at the grave, the flag bearers un-
fold the flag and hold it waist high over the grave,
one man at each corner of the flag. The urn bearer
marches off and joins the escort. After the com-
mittal service is completed and the volleys have
been fired and Taps sounded, the flag bearers
refold the flag once again and deliver it to the
superintendent of the national cemetery or the
officer in charge of the ceremony for transmittal
to the next of kin.
c. Ceremony for remains that are to be cre-
mated. (1) The chapel service and procession for
remains that are to be cremated are conducted in
the same manner as the usual complete funeral
ceremony. All military components of the cere-
