[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1441021, member: 18945"] Depends on what is paid for by the burial policy, and what the surviving family members want. The casket is sitting on a wheeled gurney in the chapel for the viewing and for the chapel service, and most of the time, it's wheeled right out to the hearse to go to the graveyard..the casket is pushed into the hearse, the gurney's legs kinda collapse up under it and the whole thing slides into the hearse. Pallbearers 'accompany' it on that little trip from chapel/church out to the waiting hearse, but usually they aren't really bearing any weight. Sometimes, the same gurney is again used to wheel the casket from hearse over to where the graveside service is held, sometimes pall bearers carry it.

Again, in both sides of my family, in recent years, it's been the grandchildren since all the funerals I attended were for elderly folks, and the grandkids were young adults. It's always been considered an honor to be a pall bearer. [/QUOTE]
