When the distance to the place of interment is considerable, the escort, after having left the camp or garrison, may march _at ease_ in quick time until it approaches the burial ground, when it is brought to attention. The music does not play while marching _at ease_. In marching at attention, the field music may alternate with the band in playing. 740. When arms are presented at the funeral of a person entitled to any of the following honors, the band plays the prescribed _national air_, or the field music sounds _to the color_, _march_, _flourishes_, or _ruffles_, according to the rank of the deceased, after which the band plays an appropriate air. The commander of the escort, in forming column, gives the appropriate commands for the different arms. (_C.I.D.R., No. 6._) 741. At the funeral of a mounted officer or enlisted man, his horse, in mourning caparison, follows the hearse. 742. Should the entrance of the cemetery prevent the hearse accompanying the escort till the latter halts at the grave, the column is halted at the entrance long enough to take the coffin from the hearse, when the column is again put in march. The Cavalry and Artillery, when unable to enter the inclosure, turn out of the column, face the column, and salute the remains as they pass. 743. When necessary to escort the remains from the quarters of the deceased to the church before the funeral service, arms are presented upon receiving the remains at the quarters and also as they are borne into the church. 744. The commander of the escort, previous to the funeral, gives the clergyman and pallbearers all needful directions. INSPECTIONS. _Company Inspection._ 745. Being in line at a halt: 1. _Open ranks_, 2. _MARCH_. At the command _march_ the front rank executes right dress; the rear rank and the file closers march backward 4 steps, halt, and execute right dress; the lieutenants pass around their respective flanks and take post, facing to the front, 3 paces in front of the center of their respective platoons. The captain aligns the front rank, rear rank, and file closers, takes post 3 paces in front of the right guide, facing to the left, and commands: 1. _FRONT_, 2. _PREPARE FOR INSPECTION_. At the second command the lieutenants carry saber; the captain returns saber and inspects them, after which they face about, order saber, and stand at ease; upon the completion of the inspection they carry saber, face about, and order saber. The captain may direct the lieutenants to accompany or assist him, in which case they return saber and, at the close of the inspection, resume their posts in front of the company, draw and carry saber. Having inspected the lieutenants, the captain proceeds to the right of the company. Each man, as the captain approaches him, executes _inspection arms_.
