​Committal Services at Los Angeles National Cemetery
Committal Services are in a prescribed format. On the day, the family and guests meet in staging areas near the cemetery entrance on Nobel Dr. A representative from the cemetery escorts the family and guests together in a procession to one of the Committal Shelters. Services are not held graveside. 

The Committal Services are limited to 30 minutes. The first part of the service is reserved for military honors. This typically takes 10-15 minutes. At the conclusion of the military honors, the remaining time can be used by the family in any manner of their choosing. Often this is a time for religious service, eulogy, or personal reflection. 

Bagpipes During the Committal Service
Typically the bagpiper plays three times during the Committal Service: 

• Procession to Committal Shelter/Ceremony Prelude
• Conclusion of Military Honors
• Conclusion of Service​
