What regulation covers the honor guard sequence for a 6 man urn?

Tasked with developing a class for the 6 man run sequence. I cannot find it in the drill and ceremonies FM. Anyone know where I can find it?

The urn sequence is actually not in any service D&C manual. It is in AFI 34-515 (Air Force Honor Guard) and, if I remember correctly, in the Army's MFH guidance, of which I do not recall the number, of hand.

However, that sequence is similar to the casket sequence in that the folded flag is carried right front, urn left front. Bearers march up and place both, all proceed to center over the table, unfold the flag over the urn, and stand at Tabletop until their time to fold.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't know anything about military funeral honors involving cremains. But I can suggest that you direct your question to a Casualty Assistance Officer.
