How should the American flag be displayed on a hearse during a military funeral?

You don't spell it out specifically, but let's say you are mounting the flags on the front of the vehicle. Old Glory would go on the right fender, any other flag on the left. The US Flag Code is silent on this point. But West Point and The President do it like I say above. I figure, if it is good enough for those folks, it is good enough for me!

Here is what the US Army's regulations say:

(4) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a vehicle,the staff of the flag will be clamped firmly to the right frontfender.
