“Taps” is probably a variation of an early 1800’s bugle call known as, “Lights Out.”  

In the present form, Taps was said to have been arranged in 1862 by a Civil War general. The musical arrangement quickly became popular and was used by Union and Confederate military forces, becoming officially recognized in 1874 by the US Army.  

Taps is the standard for military funeral services since 1891.  "Taps" also is sounded nightly in military installations at non-deployed locations, indicating lights out.
