I have found two patterns of funeral trays. The first is a high tray, which would be used with the full size shields. I suspect this may have been used when the guns were still in service.
The second tray (and I see more of these ones) require the shield be cut down. There has been discussion in the artillery world about modifying and pre-positioning more of the funeral guns across the country. Apparently, for the funeral of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, the cost for the last minute movement of the funeral gun was fairly substantial.
