The ceremony will now enter a sacred ceremony practised by military and paramilitary personnel. A bugler will play Last Post, which marks the moment of death. This moment will be followed by silence "to mark the separation from our loved ones."

Constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross were "incredible" members of the RCMP, says Roger Brown, commanding officer for RCMP's "J" Division in New Brunswick.
"They gave their lives protecting the beautiful city of Moncton, they did not hesitate to put themselves in harm's way for the safety of others, and that is why they were incredible." -

This is a time of terrible sorrow. It’s a painful moment … A time
of searing grief. I know that this grief is shared by all Canadians from coast
to coast to coast. But, nowhere is it more profoundly felt than here in

Geoffrey McLatchie, a spiritual advisor delivering the eulogy for Const. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, says the constable and his wife were twin flames.
He explains a twin flame relationship as one "where many years ago the two souls were joined together and they have come back into the earth plane and joined again as two people who have a dynamic, passionate, exciting, and - for the most part - an everlasting … relationship. This relationship is something that will always be cherished – will always be with
Angela." -
