When inside, please wait inside the Chapel while the casket is positioned on the trolley, and then begin the processional to the front of the Chapel. See the diagram for more information. Please remember that military head gear is not worn inside the Chapel. The length of the actual service inside the Chapel cannot normally exceed 20 minutes. We ask for your consideration regarding the length of your service due to the other services that will also be held in the Chapel during that day.
Time is a constant concern, due to the number of services held here each day.
The ushers will then come forward and the organist will play music. If you are in vestments and wish to change clothing, you may do so before leaving the building. See the diagram for more information. Then go to your car, or to the vehicle you will ride in to go to the place of burial or inurnment. Larry Conway Return to A Clergy Guide for Burials home page .
