There are no caskets at military funerals, because the bodies are sent home. The dead are represented by a pair of boots and a helmet mounted atop a rifle. To finish the funeral, soldiers step in front of the boots and helmet and salute, one by one. It is very sad.

Answer 4

you could look up pics of dead solder monds. my grand pa was in it so i know these things.
