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.

Modern cremation can point to Italy in the late 1800s as its starting point, and with its rise in North America in 1913 the demand for cremation urns rose with the desire to keep loved ones close. That same sentiment remains now as it did 100 years ago, with the urn achieving the same dignity as a headstone. Send us a message here if you want to know what options we have available.

a disease or a sign of weakness.
It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity,
the price you pay for love.
The only cure for grief
