i could give 2 shits who a random person is that is dead, but thye have a family and friends that love the shit out of them, jsut as i would hope people would take my death as a significant event in some peoples lives.

i dont care about ppl in traffic, yeah it should all be at the same place, id rather inquire to your above mentioned significance statement
i agree... so the funeral convoy and guests getting to their destination isnt any more important than anyone else on the road that day. Everything people wish to do could be done without the assistance of police escort or stopping traffic. They can still hold ceremony, travel together, ect.... i dont see the significance in their schedule being valued over another's. The funeral service using police escort to speed up one of their services provided (at cost) would be no different than FedEx using police escort to help them deliver packages faster.
