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.

How old is cremation? Archaeological records cite one of the oldest known cremations as the Mungo Lady, the approx. 20,000 year-old remains of a partly cremated body found near Australia’s Lake Mungo. This 1969 finding shows that cremation, as well as complex burial rituals, might have existed in early human societies.
