Military funerals are ceremonies held to honor and pay tribute to members of the armed forces who have passed away. These funerals often include specific rituals, such as the folding of the American flag and the playing of Taps, a bugle call that signifies the end of the day and honors the deceased's service. In addition to traditional funeral elements, military funerals may feature a military honor guard that presents the flag to the family and performs a rifle salute. These ceremonies reflect the respect and gratitude owed to those who served their country, ensuring that their sacrifices are remembered.
