High positioned military officers?

Just wondering. If a, lets say a military officer with the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel dies, and there's a funeral ( hope I'm not insulting anyone, if you take this offensively, then I apologize). Would that Lieutenant Colonel be buried with his pins/ribbons/and medals pinned onto his military uniform? I need to know why because I'm getting extra credit if I dress up as Omar Nelson Bradley for a US History speech, and I just wanna make the outfit as realistic as possible.
