Funeral
Procession Safety Tips
Courtesy
of the Sarnia-Lambton Funeral Directors
As
a safety concern for those driving in a procession (as well as
motorists encountering a procession) the following precautions
are recommended:
- Please
drive with your high beam headlights and four-way flashers on
and seat belt fastened.
- Remain
as close to the car ahead as safety permits to prevent interference
from side traffic.
- Funeral
corteges have no legal right to preceed through
an intersection against a red light or through a stop sign without
first coming to a full stop. As a driver you can be held liable
for damages caused by failing to stop.
- If you
should become separated from the funeral procession, please
proceed via the most direct route to the intended destination
while observing the normal rules of the road.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CATCH UP TO THE PROCESSION.
- Upon arriving
at the church or cemetery, please remain in your vehicle with
the doors closed until adjoining vehicles are in place or until
a directive from the funeral home staff.
- Please
remember to turn off headlights and four-way flashers.
