One whose dead lies before him,
he is exempt from reciting the Shema, from saying the Amidah and from wearing tefillin.
The pall bearers, their replacements and the replacements of the replacements,
whether in front of or behind the stretcher,
if they are needed for the stretcher they are exempt [from reciting the Shema],
if they are not needed for the stretcher they are obligated [to recite the Shema].
In either case, they are exempt from saying the Amidah.
