When inside, please wait inside the Chapel's inner doors while the casket is positioned on the trolley, and then begin the processional to the front of the Chapel. Please remember that military head gear is not worn inside the Chapel. Please remember that weapons of any type are not allowed into the Chapel sanctuary. 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. See Leaving the Chapel for more information. If you are in vestments and wish to change clothing, you may do so before leaving the building. After the remains are secured on the caisson, move to a position in front of the marching element, by the iron gate, and stand. The remainder of the services will depend on whether it will be in the columbarium or in ground burial.
