I've heard the urn is usually already placed up front before the church service.

When my dad died, he was cremated but we had a viewing and a funeral with his casket and body there at the service.
The pallbearers were honorary, because they didn't have to move him. He stayed there to be cremated after we left.
Since there may not be a task for them to perform, you could recognize your pallbearers with boutenierres, this is what we did.

There are usually no pallbearers when cremation is the choice.. Honorary pallbearer may be listed in the program but they have no responsibilities regarding the urn...

I don't think they have pallbearers for a cremation ceremony.

Generally they carry the casket to the furnace.
