with Navy Military Funerals,  NAVPERS  15555. Figure   4-5   indicates   the   types   of   funerals   to which naval personnel and other designated per- sons are entitled. NAVAL  FUNERALS There  are  three  general  types  of  naval funerals.  They  are:  Full  Honor,  Simple  Honor, and  Dependent  funerals. Full Honor Funeral For the full honor funeral, a color detail and a ceremonial band are provided in addition to a specified  escort.    The   band   plays   prescribed musical   honors   and/or   a   hymn   during   each movement  of  the  casket.  The  color  detail,  band, and  escort  march  in  the  procession  and  the casket  is  borne  to  the  grave  on  a  horse-drawn caisson. Simple Honor Funeral For the simple honor funeral, no color detail or   band   is   provided   and   the   escort   does   not march  in  the  procession.  The  casket  is  borne  to the grave in a hearse. Full  honor  and  simple  honor  funerals  differ primarily  in  the  size  of  the  funeral  escort.  The basic elements of a full and simple honor funeral are: American  flag  draped  over  the  casket. Honors  rendered  during  each  movement of  the  casket. The religious service. The  procession  to  the  grave. The graveside committal service. Honors rendered at the grave while three volleys  are  fired  and  Taps  are  sounded. Presentation of the flag to the next of kin by a Navy representative. These  basic  elements  described  above  form the foundation for all military funerals, whether 4-7 ceremonies  are  being  conducted  for  an  enlisted person  or  final  honors  are  being  paid  at  the grave  of  a  flag  or  general  officer. Dependent  Funeral There  are  no  military  honors  in  connection with  this  funeral  and  no  flag  is  provided.  Nor- mally, the casket bearer detail departs after plac- ing the casket at the grave. THE RELIGIOUS SERVICE The religious services which are conducted as part  of  the  military  funeral  ceremony  may  be divided into three categories. Military  Funeral  with  Chapel  Service Military  Funeral  without  Chapel  Service Military  Funeral  with  only  a  Graveside Service Each of the above services is described below in  general  terms.  Specific  duties  of  the  RPs  are noted   as   appropriate.   The   services   may   vary somewhat  according  to  the  religious  beliefs  of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding each  funeral. Military Funeral with Chapel Service Prior  to  the  funeral,  the  RP  should  ensure that  the  chapel  is  clean,  in  the  proper  order, and  that  all  necessary  materials  are  on  hand and  operable.  The  materials  required  should  be reviewed with the chaplain in advance to ensure that   nothing   has   been   omitted.   The   arrange- ments  of  the  altar  or  any  other  arrangements that are required should be made well in advance of  the  chapel  service. Before  the  service  begins,  the  funeral  escort is formed in line facing the chapel entrance. The band forms on the flank toward the direction of march. Normally, members of the immediate family, relatives,   and   friends   of   the   deceased   should be seated in the chapel before the casket is proc- essed.  For  Roman  Catholic  funerals,  the  body precedes  the  mourners  into  the  chapel.  The  RP
