 The brethren being assembled at the Lodge Room, (or 
 some other convenient place,) the presiding officer opens 
 the Lodge in the third degree, with the usual forms, and 
 having stated the purpose of the meeting, a procession 
 is formed in the following order : 
 
 Tyler with a drawn sword ; 
 
 Stewards with white rods ; 
 
 Musicians, [if they are Masons, otherwise they precede 
 the Tyler]; 
 
 Master Masons; 
 
 A (Senior and Junior Deacons ; 
 
 £ •< Secretary and Treasurer ; 
 
 ^ (Senior and Junior Wardens ; 
 
 ^ Mark Masters ; 
 
 Past Masters; 
 
 Royal Arch Masons; 
 
 Select Masters; 
 
 Knights Templar; 
 
 The Holy Writings on a cushion covered with black cloth, 
 carried by the oldest, or some suitable 
 member of the Lodge ; 
 
 The Master ; 
 
 Clergy ; 
 
 The body with the I £ j insignia placed thereon ; 
 Pall Bearers; | o I Pall Bearers. 
 
 The procession having been formed will march to the 
 place where the body lies. After the conclusion of the 
 religious services (if there are any), the Master will take 
 his station at the head of the coffin, which will be uncov¬ 
 ered, the Warden at the foot and the brethren around it, 
 and commence the services as follows : 
 
 Master. “ What man is he that liveth, and shall not 
 
18 
 
 BURIAL SERVICES. 
 
 see death ? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of 
 the grave ?” 
 
 Response. “Man walketh in a vain shadow, he heapeth 
 up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.” 
 
 Master. “ When he dieth he shall carry nothing away ; 
 his glory shall not descend after him.” 
 
 Response. “Naked he came into the world, and naked 
 he must return.” 
 
 Master. “The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken 
 away ; blessed be the name of the Lord.” 
 
 The Master then taking the roll in his hand, says : 
 
 “ Let us live the life of the righteous, that our last end 
 may be like his.” 
 
 The brethren answer: “God is our God, forever and 
 ever ; he will be our guide even unto death.” 
 
 The Master then records the name and age of the de¬ 
 ceased upon the roll and says : 
 
 “Almighty Father ! into thy hands we leave, with hum¬ 
 ble submission, the soul of our deceased brother.” 
 
 The brethren answer three times : 
 
 “ The will of God is accomplished ! So mote it be.” 
 
 The Master then deposits the roll in the archives , and re¬ 
 peats a prayer from the Monitor. At the conclusion, the 
 coffin will be closed ; the procession will be re-formed 
 and march to the place of interment in the order pre¬ 
 scribed. The members of the Lodge will form a circle 
 around the grave. The Clergy and Officers will take their 
 station at the head, and the mourners at the foot, when 
 the services will be resumed by the Master, who will 
 deliver the funeral address found in the Monitors. 
 
 During the delivery of the address, the following invo¬ 
 cations and^responses are made : 
 
 Master. “ May we be true and faithful, and may we 
 live and die in love ! ” 
 
 Resporvse. “So mote it be.” 
 
 Master. “ May we profess what is good and always act 
 agreeable to our profession ! ” 
 
 Response. “ So mote it be.” 
 
BURIAL SERVICES. 
 
 19 
 
 Master. “May the Lord bless us and prosper us, and 
 may all our good intentions be crowned with success ! ” 
 
 Response . “ So mote it be.” 
 
 Master. Glory be to God in the highest; on earth, 
 peace, good will toward men.” 
 
 Response. “So mote it be, now, from henceforth, and 
 forever more. Amen.” 
 
 The apron is taken off from the coffin and handed to 
 the Master ; the coffin is deposited in the grave, and the 
 Master concludes the address. 
 
 After the address has been delivered, the brethren 
 move in procession around the place of interment (sing - 
 ing the Dirge), and severally drop the sprig of evergreen 
 into the grave ; after which, the Public Grand Honors are 
 given. The Master then concludes the services. 
 
 The procession then returns in form to the place 
 whence it set out, where the necessary duties are complied 
 with, and the Lodge is closed. 
 
 [Note.—I f the body is to be taken into a church, the procession will 
 march to the house or place where it lies, receive and convey it to the 
 church, where, after the benediction has been pronounced, the services 
 will commence as above.] 
 
 FUNERAL DIRGE. 
 music— “Pleyel. ” 
 
 Solemn strikes the funeral chime, 
 
 Notes of our departing time ; 
 
 As we journey here below, 
 
 Through a pilgrimage of woe ! 
 
 Mortals, now indulge a tear, 
 
 For mortality is here ! 
 
 See how wide her trophies wave 
 O’er the slumbers of the grave ! 
 
 Here another guest we bring, 
 
 Seraphs of celestial wing, 
 
 To our funeral altar come ; 
 
 Waft this friend and brother home. 
 
 Lord of all! below—above— 
 
 Fill our hearts with truth and love ; 
 
 * When dissolves this earthly tie, 
 
 Take us to thy Lodge on high.
