A funeral procession is a procession, usually in motor vehicles or by foot, from a funeral home or church or other place of worship to the cemetery or Church. The deceased is usually transported in a hearse, while family and friends follow in their vehicles. In earlier times horse-drawn vehicles were used or in poorer societies a group of men would carry the deceased on a bier accompanied by a procession of people. == United States== The rules applied in most of the United States are: * All vehicles traveling in a funeral procession must be accompanied by a licensed escort. Usually one escort is assigned for approximately every 10 to 12 vehicles. * Funeral processions have the right of way. People are required to yield, and not interfere or cause an obstruction. Emergency vehicles are excluded from this. * Stickers (colored markers) must be attached to front and rear windows of each vehicle. Flags may also be used. * Everyone that is part of the procession is required to have their lights turned on, and some states require the escort to use hazard lights. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「funeral procession」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
