slow march
Dignified military cadence
A slow march is a military or ceremonial march performed at a deliberate, measured pace—typically around 60 steps per minute, half the speed of a quick march.
It conveys solemnity and dignity, used at funerals, memorial services, and formal parades: The honor guard advanced in slow march toward the casket.
