All about the Funeral Procession
The funeral procession or funeral cortege is a way of showing love to the deceased person for the last time. By this event, the participants of this procession bid goodbye to the deceased person and indicate that he or she is not alone even at the last journey of life. Just like other events of funeral service, this procession also has some dos and don'ts. Before going in that discussion, let’s have a brief knowledge of this ritual itself. What is Funeral Procession? It is the event in which the mourners (family members, relatives and friends) accompany the body of the deceased person in the casket towards the burial site from the funeral home. This procession usually starts from the home of the deceased person to the place of funeral service and then towards the burial ground. Previously, family members carried the coffin and participants walk behind them. Now, the family members, along with the coffin, lead the procession in a hearse, and the procession follows them.
