While flipping channels the other evening I peeked in at Pres. Gerald Ford's coffin lying in state in the US Capitol. Some of the mourners just continued to walk by the coffin, while some in uniform stopped and some saluted, and others made a sign of the cross or some resemblenance of it (do some need a refresher course in such basic teachings?).
I was wondering what is the proper etiquette in an event like this? I am not sure if i strolled through the line would I think about making a sign of the cross in this case. Perhaps there was a cross? And speaking in general terms regarding a political funeral and not specific to President Ford, whom also was our last Masonic Presidents in a long line of US Presidents.
