The Civil & Military Funeral ceremony was introduced in order to commemorate the death of American soldiers who have perished in the battlefield. The ceremony celebrates not only their sacrifice but also serves as a remembrance of their lives & achievements.
Civil and Military Funeral in USA
The ceremony is scheduled for a three-day period. During the first twenty-four hours the body is to lie in the chapel at the hospital and to be visited only by relatives, close friends and members of the hospital staff. For another twenty-four hours, the body is to lie in state in the capitol where public would be admitted. On the third and last day, the body is to be escorted by a procession from the capitol to the cemetery. The process includes honoring soldiers at the tomb, funeral service in the memorial Amphitheater and announcement of last rites at the gravesite. In announcing death, usually in the morning President of the Military service announce the news to the department. The department of State later issued the President’s proclamation in which it orders to display the national flag in all the military posts, naval stations and on all vessels. The flag continues to be displayed until funeral service is completed. In the event of death of a soldier, military service from the same group needs to participate in the funeral. The Adjutant General issued general orders announcing the death of the Army and ensures that family of the deceased is aware of the event occurring. Police escort
On the day of the funeral, troop units and other participating group assembled to form a procession. The army band follows and accompany with their music. On reaching Memorial Gate of the cemetery, troop units not scheduled for further participation in the ceremonies does not proceed while those scheduled for further participation enters the gravesite.

The ceremony at the Tomb of the Soldier is typically brief. Salutes and musical honors are rendered as the casket was moved from the caisson to a catafalque on the plaza. A silence of one minute is observed. Then they pay their last respects with the guns fired into the sky and Insignia stars to be affixed by the military members in the coffin.

The soldiers wear military uniforms while the relatives and friends wear black attires. Black colors signify respect to the dead and provides a symbol for mourning. The formal nature of the ceremony serves as a reminder of the discipline & strength required to be in the army.
Ngaben Cremation is a burial or cremation ceremony of Hindu people in Bali, Indonesia. Cremation ceremony is a ritual performed to send the bodies to the next life. Bodies should be put asleep, and the family left behind will always think so (asleep). No tears, because corpses are temporarily absent and will undergo reincarnation or find last resting Moksha (free from the wheel of death and reincarnation). Appropriate day for this event are always discussed with people who understand. On this day, the body is placed in a coffin corpses and death. coffin is placed in a sarcophagus that resembles the ox or the temple-shaped container made of wood and paper. Form of an ox, or the temple brought to the cremation through a procession. The procession is not running on a straight road. This is to confuse evil spirits and keep him away from the corpse. The highlight is the burning whole Ngaben structure (Ox or temple made of wood and paper), along with the corpses. The fire needed to liberate the spirit from the body and facilitate reincarnation. Cremation is not always done with soon. For members of high caste, it is reasonable to perform this ritual within 3 days. But for members of lower castes, the bodies were buried first and then, usually in a group event to a village, cremated.

Hierarchy and Arrangement
Hierarchy and Arrangement Burial zone
The burial area extends along the terraces following the natural topography of the site. It is low density burial zone with sarchopagi of marble ingot and loculi partly buried, identified by a covering tombstone. The retaining walls are of broken local stone, the stairs precast concrete and the paths covered in gravel.

Burial zone
The expansion of the cemetery consists of a burial area, an individual ossuary tower and a common ossuary and cinerary housed in a cloister. To keep the cemetery close to the town the extension is built into the hillside above the old cemetery. Burial area

Oberrealta Chapel Cazis Switzerland Chapel The chapel stands at the edge of a meadow terrace over the valley level of the Hinterrheins. Up to beginning 20 century stood here a chapel which was dedicated to the holy Nepomuk. It should protect the valley against inundations. After the adjustments of the Rhine the holy one lost its task and the chapel purged. 1994 were established on the foundation walls a new chapel. The too preserving findings were enclosed thereby. The concrete hut is a clear, sharp edged limited body and defines the unusual place in the landscape. It exhibits no architectural details and posseses neither equipment nor technical installations. A space house is less relgious place as rather indication of the memory.
Structure
Structure The chapel covers the old ruin like a protective vessel cast in stone. Therfore, the floor is not flat but slightly wavy. In shape, the chapel resembles a simple ordinary house, but being made out of only one material, concrete, it is essentially a sculpture of an ordinary house and therefore a monument.
Circulation Circulation
The chapel has no path leading up to it. There is only 1 small entrance to the inside. Its simplicity and modest dimension heighten the drama and beauty of the surrounding mountains. The reduction and minimalism of the architecture is a direct response to the dramatic landscape.
Program
Program
The space inside the chapel precisely replicates its external concrete and symbolic appearance. The interior is defined by a crack of light, too narrow to afford view of the valley opposite. The width of the wall cannot be deduced from the embrasure of the crack. Hence, the immaterial light of the opening acquires the character of a sign, without any need for symbolic architecture.

Iteration 1
The design and layout of the funeral building have been created to accomodate the funeral services. The ideas include:
Cremation room
Cremation Room 1500mmx3000mm
Access/Pathway Gates
-Combining access with cremation room, ashes, entrance and graves area.
Fences
Fences 1500mmx500mm
Fences 8000mmx500mm
Gate 2500mmx500mm
-Combining hallway with waiting area and ceremony room.
Access
Ashes
The thought process behind this layout is based on a traditional western funeral service. The guests/family of the deceased will enter from the gate through the access area. Then they will enter wide entrance that have been designed to allow various type of caskets to enter the hallway then ceremony room.

The family members can wait in the waiting area while the ceremony is being organized/prepared. This is situated close to the ceremony room to allow flow of access.

Iteration 2
If the deceased is to be cremated instead of being buried, after the service in the ceremony room then guest can wait in the access or waiting area while the body is being cremated. The urn with ashes can be picked up in the ashes room and guests can exit through the access and then gate.

After the ceremony, the caskets can be brought to the grave area and further ceremony can occur. Once the bodies are buried then guest can leave via the access area and through the gate.
The reason i choose iteration one because the design has better flow and access for the guest compare to the iteration two the design has no flow and the location of the each spaces are not well organized and thought of.

In response to my design process I have analyzed my site in bigger area, which cuts on surface that influence folding. When diagramming this idea, I unveiled some additional information about my site that was not visible before. In this diagram I began identifying the large cuts of Waverley at surface context and began to identify within larger area. Amongst this process I began using these diagrams as a lens for viewing boundaries within my site. The area consists of the surrounding houses, the erosion which happens inside the Waverley cemetery, the business districts such as childcare, cafes and bowling club.
