Book excerpt: Excerpt from Funeral Ceremony and Offices of a Lodge of Sorrow: Ancient and Accepted Scottosh Rite; Freemasonry This ceremony, prepared for a Chapter of the 18th degree, may be used by any Body of the Rite, from the Lodge of Perfection to the Supreme Council inclusive, and may be readily made suitable for either, by such changes as may be made at the moment of the performance. Therefore, wherever the Chapter or any of its officers are mentioned, those terms will be understood (for avoidance of repetition) to mean any body of the Rite, and the officers of such body, with their appropriate titles. The mourning color of the Supreme Council is violet; that of all other bodies of the Rite, black. Offices. The Funeral Offices of a Knight Rose Croix, when he is buried by the Chapter, consist of two parts. The first takes place in the Chapter, or Church, or the house of the deceased; and the second at the grave. The latter may, of course, if circumstances require it, be performed without the former. Both portions of the ceremonial may be publicly performed. Preparation Of The Chapter. The Throne, Altar, and seats of the officers are hung with black; [in the Supreme Council, with violet].
