12. Upon arriving at the entrance to the cemetery, the brethren should march in open order to the tomb or grave. If the body is to be placed in the former, the Tiler should take his place in front of the open door, and the lines be spread so as to form a circle. The coffin should be deposited within the circle, and the Stewards and Deacons should cross their rods over it. The bearers should take their places on either side--the mourners at the foot of the coffin, and the Master and other officers at the head. After the coffin has been placed in the tomb, the Stewards should cross their rods over the door and the Deacons over the Master. If the body is to be deposited in the earth, an oblong square should be formed around the grave, the body being placed on rests over it; the Stewards should cross their rods over the foot, and the Deacons the head, and retain their places throughout the services. 13. After the clergymen shall have performed the religious services of the church, the Masonic services should begin. 14. When a number of Lodges join in a funeral procession, the position of the youngest Lodge is at the head, or right, of the procession, and the oldest at the end, or left, excepting that the Lodge of which deceased was a member walks nearest the corpse. 15. A Lodge in procession is to be strictly under the discipline of the Lodge room; therefore no brother can enter the procession or leave it without express permission from the Master, conveyed through the Marshal. The Lodge is open and not at refreshment. Service in Lodge Room. The brethren having assembled at the lodge room, the Lodge will be opened briefly on the Third Degree; the purpose of the communication must be stated, and remarks upon the character of the deceased may be made by the Master and brethren, when the service will commence, all the brethren standing: Master: What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the land of the grave? S. W.: His days are as grass; as a flower of the field so he flourisheth. J. W.: For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. M.: Where is now our departed brother? S. W.: He dwelleth in night; he sojourneth in darkness. J. W.: Man walketh in a vain shadow; he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. M.: When he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him. S. W.: For he brought nothing into the world, and it is certain he can carry nothing out. J. W.: The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. M.: The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. S. W.: God is our salvation; our glory and the rock of our strength; and our refuge is in God. J. W.: He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. M.: Can we offer any precious gift acceptable in the sight of the Lord to redeem our brother?
