Ever encountered a funeral procession while driving? What's the right way of handling the situation? Is it necessary to pull over?

While the laws vary from state to state, one should always pull over for a funeral procession out of politeness to the grieving family.

Some other good rules to keep in mind out of respect for the deceased and the family:
* Don't cut into a procession or cut them off
* Don't honk at the vehicles in the procession
* Yield the right of way until the entire procession is through the intersection
* On the highway, don't pass the procession on the right

In general, be patient and considerate, and keep in mind that the folks in the procession are likely going going through a very difficult time.

It is always a good idea to know what protections are in place to ensure a peaceful place of rest for you and your family. Perpetual Care cemeteries put money aside to guarantee that even after the final space is sold, there will always be money to pay someone to maintain the cemetery; cut the grass, shovel snow, and level monuments. Look into the long term management plan when choosing a cemetery.
