Marshall Drive Transfer at Arlington National Cemetery during a Full Honors Funeral Service earlier this week, surrounded by blooming cherry blossom trees and magnolias. Full honors funerals begin at a designated place, called a transfer point. A team of soldiers transfers the casket to the caisson at the transfer point, before proceeding to the gravesite and the heroes final resting place. Following the transfer, a military band plays a reverent march, leading six horses as they pull a flag-draped casket through tree-lined lanes of Arlington National Cemetery.
