When a loved one who was a member of the United States military forces dies, the family will sometimes wish to arrange a burial with military honors. There are one hundred national cemeteries in the United States. However, not every state has a national cemetery. The main and most well-known military cemetery is Arlington National Cemetery which is located in Washington, D.C. and administered by the Army. The custom of playing Taps began in the United States in 1862 during the Civil War. It was written by Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield. Draping the casket with the national flag is a custom which began during the Napoleonic Wars (1796-1815). At that time, dead soldiers were covered with a flag and removed from the field of battle on a caisson (two wheeled vehicle used to hold artillery ammunition attached to a horse-drawn wagon). A United States flag is not placed in the grave and is not allowed to touch the ground at any time.
