Funeral Rites And Other Burial Traditions

While looking at my Uncles Blog I saw something of interest:

Funeral Rites
John Cole at Balloon Juice has an interesting post up with information on some of the traditions followed in a military funeral.

Really interesting on how some of our traditions came about.

In this time when we have lost a great American President and a fine musician I too thought many may be interested in where some of our burial traditions come from. Take a look and find such things as the 21-gun salute, the rider less horse and why we drape Old Glory over caskets.
