Either branch could do the honors, whichever branch the family wants give that number or if they want one of each that can be arranged too. Both branches need the request.

That we have volunteers scheduled every day for the "Three round rifle volleys." Schedule their own team for 100% guarantee. As Government employees we cannot lead a religious part of the service. There is no chaplain physically here. Offer to look up local churches for their religious preference. Tell them it does not have to be official clergy.
The family asks if you can do the "21 gun salute" and you or a chaplain do the committal afterwards. What do you tell them?
