It’s a respect thing. I don’t know if they do it everywhere or not. I actually drove a truck for a company , tho owner saw one of her trucks not stop for a funeral. Next day we had meeting, where we were told she better not see any of her trucks not stopping for a funeral.
It's an American cultural sign of respect. Grew up in funeral business. It's done all over our country (by those NOT rude or unaware). Sign of respect.
Even in Georgia too. It's all about respect to the loss & the family of the deceases. May God bless them & give them all strength to get thru this bad time in life.
It's a sign of respect. People used to even pull over, get out of the car, and take their hats off if they were wearing one until the full convoy went by.
I was literally about to say I live in a small town in northern Kentucky, and even now it's common to see just about everyone pull over, get out, and take off their hats or bow their head as they watch the funeral procession drive past... You should have seen it when one of our firefighters passed away... The entire city of Dry Ridge came to a halt as the herse passed by with emergency vehicles from all across the tri-state following behind with their lights on... I was working at Papa John's at the time, and I wasn't the only person who stepped out from work to show respect....
Its a thing in Alabama, too. Warms my heart! Play my grandfather died, the thing that really touched me was seeing people on the road. Some took their hats off and respect. No matter what I'm doing or if I'm in a hurry, I always stop!
Kentuckian all 48 years of my life. I was taught this as a very small boy. Do it every time. I've seen this all over this beautiful state. I've even seen a few people pull to the shoulder for the opposite side of the road on the interstate. At my great aunt and my grandma's funeral, 2 different gentlemen stepped out of their vehicles, removed their hats, and bowed their heads. And it was cold! Gets me emotional as well. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe out there. ❤️
My aunts came down to Texas from Michigan for my grandfather's funeral and saw this. They had never seen it before. Made them even more emotional. Gentlemen even standing outside of their vehicle.
In Louisiana we definitely appreciate it when you pull over and show respect for the deceased on their last ride to their resting place. Thanks to ALL who do.
Supposed to be this way everywhere!! I've been to both states and lived in multiple states but Kentucky and Georgia from my experience has always stopped no matter what side of the road you're on! 🙏 For the family!
In south GA even people mowing their yards get off the mower and remove their hats. It happened when we were in my great aunts procession and it tore me up. People in the south show respect in the kindest ways.
I honestly didn't know you had to stop on the other side of a divider like that. Glad to know now. Hopefully someone behind me in GA won't hit me from doing that though.
I genuinely thought it was in the drivers manual and Ky state law to stop. I forget now, but it's sad how some people don't stop. I always think maybe it's their 30 minute break and they're runnin to BFE 'n back bc life's hard sometimes & been there! 😂
It's always been a respect and courteous thing in Indiana. I'm from Fort Wayne Indiana currently in Florida and they don't do it here on both sides that I've witnessed yet
If I remember correctly on a single street here we always be respectful and move over until it passes. On Interstate you just make sure to not merge into their vehicle line and try to stay out of the way. ❤ But we always try to show respect
I'm from Florida was born and raised here, and have never seen people stop. But I always lower my music in respect if I'm passing by. Since I have to drive with my windows open. I think everyone should.
Coming from the funeral business it’s really just a respect thing. a lot of older people follow that stopping no matter what side of the road you’re on, the newer generation not so much. Stay safe and safe travels!!🤝🏽🙏🏼
In Ontario, Canada, we just keep going. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few people cut off the Hearst. They say Canadians are friendly, but definitely not when it comes to sharing the road 🤣
Because they’re respectful in Kentucky. Down here in South Florida it’s dog eat dog, regardless of there being a funeral procession next to you. It’s really horrible. Can’t wait to retire and get the hell out of Dodge.
Used to be the same here but now you get idiots trying to overtake funeral processions. Traffic lights now on road junction with the crematorium as drivers wouldn’t stop to let funeral processions turn in.
@@catsfather they're not a particularly common sight on the routes I stick to, but I've seen enough of them to know that they should be illegal and I couldn't, in good conscience, ever participate in one.
@@catsfather first, you don't know that. Second, whether or not I've been asked to participate in one doesn't change the fact that they disrupt and impede traffic when they happen. They go well below the posted speed limits and don't stop for red lights. Both of those actions are illegal at any other time (unless conditions necessitate slower speeds for safety).
In Nebraska we stop. And whenever I see an ambulance I do the sign of the cross, and I say a prayer. They’re just things that decent people should always do ❤

My husband has taught my girls that if they are outside and a procession goes by, they are to stop what they are doing, and if they have a hat on, take it off. We live close to a graveyard, so every once in a while they go through. Here, even in a four lane highway you stop.
I’m Canadian and been in too many funeral processions, those car rides are hard to explain emotionally. I’ve only ever had one experience with someone flashing their brights, with a wave and nod. If this ever happened the appreciation and thankfullness goes such a long way
I’m sorry to say it’s not done in the suburbs of Chicago. People allow the precession to stay together but pulling over, haven’t ever seen that here and I’m 50.
We def don't stop here in the North East. At least in my 18 years of driving I have never seen this. You might yield and let the procession pass through red light or green light but if your lane of traffic is not obstructed then always keep it moving.
Out her in colorado/ nebraska it's the same. Especially since like ½ the town is at any given funeral bc everyone is related or good friends of the famliy
I was always told to do this in Ohio since I was a child. Had to go to South Carolina for my aunts funeral and for being a place that I can feel the hospitality difference in everybody nobody stopped for our funeral parade
I’ve only noticed this in southern states. I live in MD and people don’t care. I saw someone get into the procession line before 🤦🏽♀️ I always pull over out of respect.
I'm from the UK, and we don't stop, but I personally have always slowed down, taken off my hat,cap, and turned my music off or down. I genuinely love how you guys roll with honour and respect for things or ppl, even with your armed personnel. Also, what is the song in the background? I am digging this fr 😅 Edit: Never mind, I've found it 😅 matte black suicideboy$
It is a respect thing. My family is from Mississippi, and oftentimes, you'll see people not only pull over but pull over and place their right hand over their hearts. But I'm in jersey. And let me tell you. No respect. If they're crossing an intersection and the light turns red, you can almost forget about keeping together. I'm my previous LEO capacity when i would see this, and we weren't busy, I'd give them a full escort. Within our city limits, of course.
I have to say you look different driving a vehicle and not a semi but semi drivers do have a lot of respect for other drivers because their use of how long loads
I'm from Massachusetts and I've never heard of people doing this. If a funeral procession is already passing through an intersection then you let them go and proceed once the entire line has passed (even if you have a green light or the right of way). No stopping for an oncoming procession, especially one on the other side of a divided multi-lane road. I know places where stopping like that would extremely mess up the traffic flow and cause delays even after the procession is gone. I get it's respectful but it seems extreme to me.

Same respect is shown here in Texas!
I was completely unaware of this and this seriously needs to be passed on and on. What an amazing way to show respect on the road
The stopping is not common in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. But I’ve been part of that in NC.
Even in Georgia too. It's all about respect to the loss & the family of the deceases. May God bless them & give them all strength to get thru this bad time in life.
We do the same here in Arizona it’s a sign of respect 🫡
$B goes crazy
Showing respect in that same manner is what I have always seen.
Also, FYI, ur amazing!!
Tim
Was born amd rasied in the mountains in WV, we did/do this. Its their last ride, why not show respect.
"Their last ride" 😭
Thank u for being so respectful 🙏❤
That’s showing respect I personally bless myself and pray for the family and love ones
no. its a divided highway.
no wonder traffic is terrible in Kentucky.
It's a sign of respect. People used to even pull over, get out of the car, and take their hats off if they were wearing one until the full convoy went by.

Is has been a sign of respect no matter where I have lived. Most of the time the PD has been runny escort.
We do in TN, too
Respect is on its way back ❤
We do in N.H. we stop. A sign of respect.
Its a thing in Alabama, too. Warms my heart! Play my grandfather died, the thing that really touched me was seeing people on the road. Some took their hats off and respect. No matter what I'm doing or if I'm in a hurry, I always stop!
Same here in southeastern ky we stop both lanes of traffic to show our respect to the family and the funeral
Was raised to do the same thing you do it’s just respectful

Same here in Mississippi but not everyone is respectful I ALWAYS Stop to show my Respect ❤
Same respect is shown here in West Virginia
We do it down south in lower Alabama, that you for your courtesy and respect.
In Louisiana we definitely appreciate it when you pull over and show respect for the deceased on their last ride to their resting place. Thanks to ALL who do.

Definitely don't do that on 285 in Atlanta! 😂
@ZERO_O7X definitely not on an interstate 🤣🤣🤣 my mom said she probably wouldn't stop either unless cars in front already were, haha
We do in New York
Yeah you're supposed to kill the loud music as well..
Kentuckian here as well. Been taught this all my life. I practice it to this day. It makes me mad when others drive past and cut off a precession.
I genuinely thought it was in the drivers manual and Ky state law to stop. I forget now, but it's sad how some people don't stop. I always think maybe it's their 30 minute break and they're runnin to BFE 'n back bc life's hard sometimes & been there! 😂
Yep and remove your cap and bow your head!!! A kentuckian here !!! Respect!
In the Netherlands we do but not on the highway though.
I live in South Georgia and most everyone pulls over. I do because I was taught that it's a show of respect
❤❤❤ so many ppl have honked, cussed me, etc for doing this, not realizing I'd do it for them too.
Absolutely all my children know to stop and give respect to those and ambulances!!!!!!
REPECT🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's always been a respect and courteous thing in Indiana. I'm from Fort Wayne Indiana currently in Florida and they don't do it here on both sides that I've witnessed yet
Same in Georgia I even turn off radio just a little respect for me to them.

North Alabama girl born & raised - we always stop. 💜
We do the same thing here in PA
I love this song.
I'm from Florida was born and raised here, and have never seen people stop. But I always lower my music in respect if I'm passing by. Since I have to drive with my windows open. I think everyone should.
It's actually pretty common in southern states. I know in NC and VA it's a thing and if you don't you get a fine for it.
I'm from Alberta, Canada and have never heard or seen this before but I get it, and I like it.
Coming from the funeral business it’s really just a respect thing. a lot of older people follow that stopping no matter what side of the road you’re on, the newer generation not so much. Stay safe and safe travels!!🤝🏽🙏🏼
Same in Alabama! It's the least we can do and it shows the family respect as well as the loved one that has passed. ❤
They do it up here in Canada, glad to see people reppin $uicideBoy$ lol
In Ontario, Canada, we just keep going. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few people cut off the Hearst. They say Canadians are friendly, but definitely not when it comes to sharing the road 🤣
😳
I'm in Ontario also. Not all just keep going. I will pull over, a lot of others will pull over.
Out here on the left coast, it used to be a thing, but anymore, if it involves courtesy or respect, it doesn't happen.
Because they’re respectful in Kentucky. Down here in South Florida it’s dog eat dog, regardless of there being a funeral procession next to you. It’s really horrible. Can’t wait to retire and get the hell out of Dodge.
Used to be the same here but now you get idiots trying to overtake funeral processions. Traffic lights now on road junction with the crematorium as drivers wouldn’t stop to let funeral processions turn in.
Maybe if the idiots in the procession would actually do the speed limit and obey lights, you wouldn't have issues with that.

South Carolina and north carolina do it. My aunt’s funeral had a police escort and the whole town was there.
Grew up in MN and that was done. Now living in MD and in the DMV (DC, MD and NoVA) area that is not done.
It's that way in #northcarolina
Ayeeeee boo that song I like yo vibe🥂💯💪😎

That's the way it is in ks. Police will stop traffic at lights for the procession to go through
Yes in DC/MD/VA we will give them the lead way to get thru intersection
I’m Canadian and been in too many funeral processions, those car rides are hard to explain emotionally. I’ve only ever had one experience with someone flashing their brights, with a wave and nod. If this ever happened the appreciation and thankfullness goes such a long way
Pacific Northwest does it the same way. I think it is pretty much the same in most places, at least within the USA.
Common practice around southeast missouri as well.
Not as common out west but we do in Indiana
I’m sorry to say it’s not done in the suburbs of Chicago. People allow the precession to stay together but pulling over, haven’t ever seen that here and I’m 50.
It should be everywhere, but unfortunately this day an age most of the younger generation of drivers don't do this or weren't taught to😔😢
Texas pulls over and stops to show respect
We def don't stop here in the North East. At least in my 18 years of driving I have never seen this. You might yield and let the procession pass through red light or green light but if your lane of traffic is not obstructed then always keep it moving.
I keep driving (live in the UK so probably diffrent rules over here) But I turn my music off as a sign of respect
We do it here in Arkansas ❤
We stop in ohio but my cousin lives in PA and she had no idea it was a thing 🤷🏻♀️
It’s the law in GA
Have you heard “Are you going to see the rose in the vase or the dust on the table”?
Not in Wisconsin. People would be pissed holding up traffic. We just make the sign of the cross and keep it moving
In some places more than others in Kentucky
We do it here in North Carolina
Out her in colorado/ nebraska it's the same. Especially since like ½ the town is at any given funeral bc everyone is related or good friends of the famliy

It's a thing we do in Oregon too. My mom got made at someone going through the stoplight and cutting us off as we were one of the cars in it.
Here in Wisconsin you would also stop for a funeral procession, yes.
I’ve only noticed this in southern states. I live in MD and people don’t care. I saw someone get into the procession line before 🤦🏽♀️ I always pull over out of respect.
I’m in Idaho and this is a thing ❤

Saludos desde Aguascalientes México 😎🤓
It is sc state law to stop
We do here in Mississippi
Yes ma’am southern middle Tennessee we definitely pull over out of respect.
Not in Maryland. But see it in KY, OH and, WV.
They stop up here in Canada😊
We don't stop in chicago!
It's sad that no one stops like that anymore it's so disrespectful I even take my hat off while it's going by but it's what the world has become
