I always wondered how much they'd have to practice to get it all right. One day I watched military people who had been killed as their coffins were taken from the planes to the limos. It was soooo touching. The people in the honor guard were so precise. They must count out absolutely all of their moves or something, to get it all right. What a show of respect for the person who has died!

I know they practice many parts constantly, but they can't do it all as each funeral is unique. I think they said the regulations covering this ceremony are 160 pages long.
