The circumstances in which the burial immediately follows Mass are so rare as to be virtually non-existent now, yet I rarely hear the ‘Ego sum’ and Benedictus following the ‘In Paradisum’
If the coffin is taken at once to the place of burial, the procession is now formed…As the coffin is carried to the cemetery, the choir sings the antiphon in Paradisum deducant te angeli followed by Ego sum (in full)* and Benedictus. If the distance is great, the psalm De profundis and other psalms of the Office of the dead are said. At the entrance to the cemetery, the antiphon Ego sum is repeated in full.
You just do the stuff for the graveside at the church door of the first, at the burial for the second.
