In general, when a funeral takes place at a funeral home chapel or in a religious sanctuary, the service is immediately followed by the transportation of the body to the cemetery or crematory for burial. At the conclusion of the service a funeral director makes an announcement of the location for the burial. A family may elect for a private burial in which case the announcement may provide a location or refer to how and when further respects may be paid to the family. Alternatively, if it is not a private burial, then those in attendance at the funeral service may follow the hearse and the family in a procession. When the body is moved to the cemetery it is transported in a hearse.
