My Brothers Estate

Approaching traffic here in the southeast will pull off to their the side road to let a funeral procession pass. Police and sheriff’s escort the procession to the cemetery and will leapfrog ahead to block crossing intersections. Law enforcement will handoff to other jurisdictions as they cross lines. Someone tried to pass us on a four lane highway after my mom’s funeral, a deputy nailed his butt.

I think so. It's been many years.

My parents are buried there. I am familiar with that area just north of "Ivorydale".

We did a video and had pictures at my FIL funeral.
From his childhood, military time and with his kids and my son included.

It's pretty much the same law in NC (always considered NC a part of the South East).

Honestly, I would not pass due to respect and it's not like you have to deal with them regularly (funeral processions), but stopping "out of respect" when you're coming the opposite direction in another lane is pushing stupid due to the chance of causing an accident.

Well, I looked it up and nope. He's in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in St. Bernard.

Yes, I understand the intention, but disagree with the action. Anytime someone does something unexpected in traffic, like stopping in the middle of a lane, or pulling halfway off the road, it makes for more likely hood of an accident because now you're focused on the car in front of you doing the unexpected and not seeing what's going on around you.

Anyhow. I try and roll with the flow of traffic.

My mom grew up on Vine St. just north of there in Elmwood. Small world.

I worked right down the street from there. Small world indeed.

A little bit of dark humor here, but when I was in the funeral procession for my grandmother, an entire OTHER funeral procession passed us and got to the very same cemetery before us. I could not find the right emotion at the time as to if this was rude, or if it was darkly funny that the processions were, sort of, in a race, to get the best parking?
