I am not certain, but I have been to three or four military funerals and I believe the words are always pretty much the same. I may be wrong on this, but each time, I remember hearing the same phrasing.
"Please accept this flag on behalf of a grateful nation."
The variations I've heard ar minor.

Some posters say he spoke longer than that. Perhaps he also provided a short explanation that the flag flew over the USS Ronald Reagan and any additional significant information.
