I didn't know a few of these rules. Did you? Do people still have as many funeral processions as in the past?

Sometimes police will escort the procession, by car or by motorcycle.

Even if it's not in any law, I think it is common courtesy to all the procession to stay together.

Now that you mention it, Ruby, I think there are less processions and more services at the gravesites.

I don't know if it is a law here or not, but normally people do yield to a funeral procession and of course you must yield to a procession being led through an intersection by a police officer.
