Military personnel will transport the casket feet first while saluting and standing to attention through the procession. The focus of these types of funerals is on maintaining the honor and the dignity of the deceased. Standard procedures are followed whether the person passed on while on duty, retired or was honorably discharged.

The casket is transported to the burial site and will be draped with a country flag. Depending on religious beliefs, a priest or representative will be present to send the individual off in peace and with blessings for the family. Once the ceremony is completed, the flag is folded and offered to the family.
