Any national flags or the flags or insignia of associations to which the deceased belonged are to be removed from the coffin at the entrance of the church. They may be replaced after the coffin has been taken from the church. OCF #132. For the policy of the Diocese of Richmond regarding the use of flags in the church, see the following: Display of National Flags.
