Funeral Procession Etiquette
-
Last week, Mrs. George was driving home and encountered a funeral procession. She was on a four lane road, with no obvious shoulder to the right. The procession was long, about 40 cars, and in the left lane, about to make a left turn into the cemetery.
She passed the procession on the right, the lane she was in, and there were cars behind her.
As she passed, she got several "looks could kill" gazes from some of the people in the procession.
What should she have done, stopped?
-
A lot of people in a funeral procession aren't from around there. They need the procession to know how to get to the cemetery. (And they can't just show up whenever, these things are often on a schedule.) I'd say, just don't get in between the cars. Everything else is whatever.
-
Do not pass. Drivers traveling in the same direction as a funeral procession should never pass or attempt to pass unless the highway has two or more lanes going in that direction. When on a highway, never pass a funeral procession from the right side unless it is traveling in the far left lane.
Mrs. K is OK.
The "looks could kill" gazes are jerks.
They probably got left out of the will. -
@George-K it’s a shame you don’t have a car with a horn that blows Dixie.
Because that would have been awesome.
I was only joking

You don't have one?

Who’s Dixie?
Yeah, in Indiana you stop even if the procession is going the other way. Not that way in Ohio.

She's stuck her finger in a woodpecker's hole.
