CHAPTER V. THE INTERMENT. The prayer Deus cnl proprium est, with which the Abso- lution at the bier is terminated, having been said, the corpse is removed to the place of interment, unless there be some reason for deferring- the interment. The procession to the cemetery is formed precisely as the procession which should conduct the corpse to the church. The thurifer, and an acolyte with holy water and aspersory, walk first. Imme- diately behind them is the cross-bearer, between two acolytes car...rying lighted candles ; then the others, who take part in the procession, in the order already mentioned. Last of all is borne the corpse, right in front of which walks the cele- brant of the Mass, with the deacon on his left. As soon as the procession begins to move from the church, the choir sings the antiphon Li paradisum, ^ and, if the way is long, they repeat the antiphon, or sing some appropriate psalms, either from the Gradual or Penitential Psalms, or from those of the Office for the Dead.
