Taps played on the bugle by a member of the U.S. Army Band. It is played by the U.S. military nightly to indicate that it is "lights out". Taps became an official component of military funerals in 1874. The song accompanies a funeral procession at Arlington National Cemetery, and is generally present at most funerals.
