As a child in my grandfathers funeral procession we drove past a construction site and I can remember as they ran about shouting to each other as every worker on the site removed their hard hats in a sign of respect, obviously for me as a child on one of the saddest days of my life that cheered me up so much, especially as they did not know my grandfather, I just knew that as an retired construction worker himself he would have really appreciated that. Have respect people, peace.
Thank you for sharing that story. I'm so glad that cheered you up. That was a wonderful thing those construction workers did. I wonder if people still do things like that THESE days. Sadly, I'd be surprised if they do.
I WAS BORN IN THE SOUTH AND SO WAS MY BROTHER MY PARENTS MOVED UP NORTH WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND MY BROTHER WAS 4 YEARS OLD WE WERE THE ONLY CHILDREN UNFORTUNATELY MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 26 AND WHEN WE HAD HIS FUNERAL WE WERE ESCORTED BY THE POLICE AS A ESCORT AND I HAVE LIVED UP NORTH FOR AT LEAST 50 YEARS AND THEY ALSO DO THE SAME THING IN THE SOUTH I HAVE HAD A GRANDMOTHER And COUSIN ALSO AUNT AND THE POLICE IN THE SOUTH ALSO ESCORT A FUNERAL
I'm from the South. Down here, folks pull over and stop driving when the folks are going by to the cemetery. It's a sign of respect for the dead, and their families.
That's what people are supposed to do. Just depends on where you live. Where I live they must have police escorts because people are so rude. So so sad.
@Robert Gardea What? Better do your homework before you speak. www.funeralwise.com/learn/procession/ www.cga.ct.gov/2004/rpt/2004-r-0303.htm It is a matter respect and common sense in a civilized society. You are making yourself look like an uneducated boor. Need me to teach you how to do research and Google?
@@jradisrael6166 only a pathetic neanderthal would grasp at those straws. The "yall you speak of are all dead now.

The bottom line it is out of respect people should pull to the side always when a funeral persecution passes them by. I was just in one yesterday for my grandpas funeral and most everyone did the right thing. So luckily there arent too many people like yourself down here atleast.
im in south texas and i drove through one today on accident. the cop stopped at the intersection and a limo drove past then the cop pulled away and the light turned green so i drove right behind a guy i thought was a jerk for running the light but he was in a procession.
@@Kiki-yw9kc The funeral "procession" is becoming a thing of the past in some countries, except in smaller country areas. There are numerous reasons, the main one being people do not have the time to travel in processions if there was one, it is far better to have a one venue funeral service, either at the funeral home, or at the chapel of a crematorium or cemetery chapel. There is no rule that says you must have a procession. This keeps travel time down and often people use processions because they have not been told there is an alternative. Funeral processions are more "traditional". these days than necessity. And funerals only travel slowly because traditionally, horse drawn hearses were naturally slow. In some states funerals are not permitted on freeways unless they travel at a reasonable speed to keep traffic moving. That is common sense. In places like New Zealand and Australia, in major cities you hardly see a funeral procession at all these days, maybe from a church, and even there services are being held in one venue. Grieving families have enough to put up with by attending what are basically "two" funerals, one at a chapel or church, then the committal prayers at a crematorium or graveside. Conducting the full service at one venue can lessen grief for some families. Of course there will always be those who want the "traditional" service at each end with a procession in between, but it is becoming less common. Tradition is one thing, practicality and reduced costs are more important these days, and the end result is the same regardless. Whether traditonal "purists" like it or not, the one venue funeral is becoming popular. Just like hearse colours have changed to lighter, instead of morbid black. The funeral is actually for the living to celebrate life, so why stick with old fashioned black or dark hearses, simply because that is how it has been done in the past. Progressive funeral directors offer many alternatives now to families, (even hearse colours at some places), and this should have been done decades ago. Coffins and caskets come in various colors as well. This is the 21st century. Just because traditions are changing does not mean respect has gone. In fact it has improved for the better with alternatives to having to have a procession being introduced.
@@125sloth as an Irish Catholic, when our loved one dies there is a process involved. The deceased is buried within 3/4 days of death. Tradition is we hold a wake. Their body after being prepared by a local undertaker is brought back to their home ( or family members). There is an open coffin and friends and family pay their respects. They prey for them, talk about them and honour their memory in every way. Morning of funeral, they are brought from the house to the Chapel and given a sent off. The place bes at a standstill while the procession takes the loved one on their last journey which is to the graveyard. Hats are took off and many bless themselves on seeing the coffin regardless of they even knew the deceased. Older motorist are more incline to wait while the procession moves down the road. Younger motorists might not be so willing and try to pass. It's a mark of respect and the least we can do, by allowing their last journey and accepting the disruption of our commute for all of 10 minutes or so.
@@Kiki-yw9kc Yes I am familiar with the Irish send off. The Irish have shown the world what can be done and reinforces that the funeral is also for the living. It is a great tradition that many could learn from. And Ireland has the great laid back lifestyle also where respect takes it's time and not rushed like in some places that rush in everything they do. And the Irish wake is a very respectful, yet often "happy" way to remember their loved one. I am going to Ireland next year for a wedding, (Covid permitting), and hope to catch up with a funeral director in Derry. Might even help with some hands on work.
It's a sad commentary about the way things are today, when people have to explain funeral etiquette to others, isn't it? I'm glad I'm as old as I am, so I at least GREW UP among people with good manners. I don't encounter many with them anymore.
They do not have a legal right. They must obey the same laws as other drivers. They DONT have the right of way. U go by the signs and signals as usual.
@@RadioRich100 Idiot. Can't you read?? There are specific laws regarding funeral processions. Read the comments as that is what most of them are discussing. Who, what, why and things that have changed. They are not the same in all states but the basics are and none of them have anything to do with regular traffic laws you write about.
@@paulanull8731 There are no laws in my state. Im a former police officer and they MUST stop at a light. If you look at the picture of the hearse on its side, maybe you will figure out that if it had stopped it wouldnt be on its side. Your an idiot. Why should a funeral create another one?
Years ago in Ga a funeral procession was going to the cemetery on an old dirt rutted road.The lock on the rear door of the hearse was hung up on the wire from a floral arrangement, and after hitting a large pothole the back door flew open and the casket fell out onto the road.Widow got out of the family car, crying, wailing, etc. The driver put his arm around her and said," there Now now Mrs. so and so he ain't one bit deader than he was mam!!".
@@yj2479 What a sweet way to help her feel better😇 We all need more comedy in our lives. It was already the worst day of her life, that kind hearted man kept her afloat.
I recently attended a funeral for my grandfather, and I saw people try to pull out in front of my dad during the procession. You should NEVER pull out in front of a funeral procession.
When my father's funeral procession was going on. There was a man who stopped his car, stood outside of it on the roadside to show respect. I will never forget that, really touched my heart. We are in the south. I feel for the family in this story, what a terrible situation on top of losing a loved one. I bet the person in the red car was texting while driving. How can you miss a funeral procession with intersections blocked by police.
Kudos to the nearby funeral home that came to help. What a beautiful gesture of love and grace for the family and friends of the lost loved one. Let me guess.....person in red car was on his phone and clearly NOT paying attention. 💁🏾♀️

it is amazing how people don't have respect anymore for the day when I was young I would always watch my grandmother and my family all of them on the funeral was taking place they would always turn off the music and they would always slow down or pull to the side of the road as a funeral came even if it was on the opposite side of the road they would slow down and pull over to this day I am 32 years old and I do the exact same thing can't help but notice how many people continue blasting music and continue going it is the last respects being paid to the dead regardless if you know them or not we have become numb and disgusting people
In the 50's when I was in elementary school I would ride the city bus home. I remember an elderly black man waiting at the stop stand and take his hat off as a funeral procession passed. He was raised right even under influence of Jim Crow.
I am with you as that was the norm. I still pull over and let them pass. Where I live they must have police escorts because people are so rude and entitled. Wait till it is their loved one, shoe will be on the other foot . . . I am way old school.
@Robert Gardea No, I think it was a generational thing. Most any older person, black or white, would have shown the same respect, just as people used to stop when a funeral procession was coming in the opposite direction.
Man why does this bullshit exist... Thank god I live in Europe. It's not like the hearse has lights or sirens and the blinkers do nothing, and that's why you need police escort. Like why does this rule even exist
their should be a state and federal law that any vehicle commercial or none commercial fails to stop or follow motorcade instructions and gets into an accident with the motorcade should be cited and charged for interfering with a motorcade.
Should also be a state law or federal law that every procession should have at least 3 police cars escorting it. I know this had police escort but maybe it was only 1?
Georgia does! 2022 Georgia Code Title 40 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Chapter 6 - Uniform Rules of the Road Article 4 - Right of Way § 40-6-76. Funeral Processions: Funeral processions escorted by the police, a sheriff, or a sheriff’s deputy shall have the right of way in any street or highway through which they may pass.

My mother met a hearse and funeral procession. When she put on brakes to stop for the procession, the brakes locked and Mom’s car went right into the hearse. The accident report did not list a hearse as a possible accident vehicle. This all happened many years ago in the early 70’s. And we have never forgotten. This is a good example of why they make anti-lock brakes. We are from South Georgia where you pull to the side of the road and stop for respect of a grieving family. Even in 2021.
If we pointed at a cemetery our elders would make us bite our finger we used to point!lol still don't know why , you saying don't laugh, what is your reasoning ?
@@NationalAeronauticsSpaceAdmin oh! I know the lord said you cry when a child is born and you rejoice when someone dies so i wasn't sure what you meant, thanks
This is so horrifying! I am sorry for the deceased and the family who had to go through this ordeal! I hope the driver and the prest are ok! God be with all you!
As a funeral director I can relate to this, people do not pay attention when there's a procession especially nowadays everybody is worried about looking at crap on their cell phone. If I were the family of the deceased, I definitely would go after the insurance company of the driver who caused this horrible event.
I was in a cortege and a bright red car nipped in between the Hearse and the family car even though there were little flags on the cars to say to traffic that it was a Funeral procession . I just sat there open mouthed. Blooming cheek.
Drove by one today and just simply pulled over and bowed my head. I know that where I'm from it's not required to do that, but I did it because I was taught to do so.
I'm from SC and our state still stops for funeral processions going by on their way to the cemetery. All states should have a law mandating that cars should stop. It's called respect for the deceased with regards to the family in mourning.
Kudos to the assisting funeral home! I don't even want to think of the condition of the body after being shook up from its original condition. I just hope the family kept it shut!
What? It probably fell forward a few inches onto its face. I doubt it hurt anything much. I wouldn't even bother opening the casket again, I'd just flip it right side up and take it to the cemetery and bury it.
RadioRich100 that’s right. It’s not an emergency so no need to pull over. Yes, that person may be dead, but the maximum ppl should do is slow down not stop. Some people have places to be, unlike the dead one (not intended as disrespect)
I remember as a child, walking to the shop with my grandmother when a funeral procession drove past. My grandma stood still and pulled at my hand to stand still too. Everyone on the paths stood still, some men taking their hats off too. This was back in the mid-seventies when there were older men who wore a suit and tie daily and never left the house without a hat on. That moment, watching everyone stand still with their heads bowed stayed with me and I still do it to this day
He is not only in serious trouble, but also has to bear the responsibility for crashing into the hearse. If the family was to charge him, he will surely be sent to jail for obstructing a solem procession. This is no respect for the family of the deceased.
We need a law for the whole world if you see a Hearse Pull over and let the people through no matter how long it takes if you're late to work while you're stopped call your boss treat it like an ambulance or police no matter what so this doesn't happen.
That would cause very bad things! People have important places to be, like at work or it’s an emergency, but the dead don’t. They have all the time. Honestly I’d stop only if there is an actual emergency. A hearse isn’t.
I was just thinking that... you'd have to really be cookin' to make a Cadillac hearse flip over with a Camry - that idiot will be riding in the back of a hearse themselves before too long...
To avoid accidents with hearses: Stop at red light. Don't speed. The passenger in the hearse has got enough time, believe me. No need to ignore traffic rules while on the way to the indefinite rest. No reason to hurry at all. And... insted of having 40 (?) cars in a motorcade, it would be much more environmental friendly to rent a coach (or two). Also, coach drivers usually know how to drive and how to avoid accidents.
Wow this is sad but how do you continue to the Cemetery I'm not joking about it..but wouldn't you want to take the body back and fix it up I mean the Hearse did flip over.. you wouldn't be just Burying my loved one I need dignity and style.
Unless caused by an unknown illness,I hope the driver of the Toyota was charged. Applause to the bystanders that stopped,the first responders,and funeral home that stepped in to help the family
OMG THIS IS TERRIBLE I ONLY COULD IMAGINE HOW THIS FAMILY ALREADY FELT AND ON TOP OF GRIEVING TO HAVE TO ENDURE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS JUST HEART BREAKING PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY AND MAY THEIR LOVED ONE RIP
The fact that it's a hearse isn't enough? In Ontario, sure, purple lights indicate a funeral procession but let's be honest, how often do you see a hearse on the goddamn road? Or how about the fact the other vehicles in the procession will be labelled that they're in a procession?
My friend Todd used to laugh when he saw a hearse..."hahah! they died!", he'd chortle. Then one day, he was crossing the street and a car hit him and he did die. He's not laughing anymore now.
The thing that blows me away is the fact the hurse rolled! A 2014 model year Cadillac DTS alone weights 4,500 pounds, if I remember correctly a hurse converted DTS weights somewhere from 13,500 to 15,250 ibs due to all the added security devices for the casket in Just such a crash, also that Toyota was probably booking it if it flipped that huge thing over.. but other than that I feel bad for the family who had to experience that..
Anne Liesveld there is damage on the passenger side front door, so the hurse has the right of way, the front end would have been destroyed if they T-boned the Toyota. When it hit the hurse most likely lost its center of gravity and rolled over on to its back like you see in the video.
How? There is a universal rule that Hearses are allow to go 15mph, slightly faster if not being used for a procession. The people and cars around stop in their tracks to let the vehicle through. The rules used for police, firefighter and ambulance vehicles also applies for hearses. Why is that hard for people to understand? The individualism of the US is the reason why we are hit with the coronavirus hardest. >_>
That headline is very misleading. The hearse did not crash, it was CRASHED INTO. Yall should really change it, the blame is not on the driver of the hearse, its on the other driver. My heart aches for the family and friends of the deceased who had to witness this.
People need to pay attention to especially during a funeral recession. It's stupid for a reckless drivers to pass by a funeral recession going on. Total disrespect towards the family and funeral director during the recession of the dead ones
Hey, if I was the guy in the casket, I'd love to have known my final ride was a doozy like that one! I think my survivors would've thought, "Dave just can't do anything usual!" Stuff of legend! Great way to be remembered! My sympathies for those who experienced additional grief. I try to see the humor in life's screwups. Maybe we can see the humor on the other side too.
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when a body is taking from the other side only God can make things right god bless the family to stay strong at this time Linda j peace ❤️💯🦋🐻 and
I can't believe this would happen, the escort, whether city police or an escort service uses lights and sirens during the escort. How could this happen, laws here in Arizona require motorists to pull over to the right and not interrupt the procession. I did see a man arrested for complaining when a funeral procession at least a mile long shut down Northern Avenue. The man got testy and making threats to stop the procession, Phoenix Police arrested him. Some have no respect for those that pass on or for their families during the most awful day of their lives. Jail is most appropriate for the violator!!

Georgia does! 2022 Georgia Code Title 40 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Chapter 6 - Uniform Rules of the Road Article 4 - Right of Way § 40-6-76. Funeral Processions: Funeral processions escorted by the police, a sheriff, or a sheriff’s deputy shall have the right of way in any street or highway through which they may pass. Local governments may, by ordinance, provide for such escort service and provide for the imposition of reasonable fees to defray the cost of such service.
There should be a law that forbids unescorted funeral processions from running red lights and causing accidents.
My mother met a hearse and funeral procession. When she put on brakes to stop for the procession, the brakes locked and Mom’s car went right into the hearse. The accident report did not list a hearse as a possible accident vehicle. This all happened many years ago in the early 70’s. And we have never forgotten. This is a good example of why they make anti-lock brakes.
We are from South Georgia where you pull to the side of the road and stop for respect of a grieving family. Even in 2021.
don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by
If we pointed at a cemetery our elders would make us bite our finger we used to point!lol still don't know why , you saying don't laugh, what is your reasoning ?
@@alicemcclain2483 it's a part of the hearse song
@@NationalAeronauticsSpaceAdmin oh! I know the lord said you cry when a child is born and you rejoice when someone dies so i wasn't sure what you meant, thanks
@@alicemcclain2483 Omg, I swear! We would get in trouble for pointing too. Granny nem did not play that.
I encouraged my children to point and to laugh in these situations ______________
The guy in the box is saying to himself "W.T.F. Else Can Go Wrong"
This is so horrifying! I am sorry for the deceased and the family who had to go through this ordeal! I hope the driver and the prest are ok! God be with all you!
I have had people cut in front of our Hearse during a procession WITH escorts in front of me. It’s unreal how disrespectful some idiots can be.
No respect for peoples
No respect for people's....WHAT?
As a funeral director I can relate to this, people do not pay attention when there's a procession especially nowadays everybody is worried about looking at crap on their cell phone. If I were the family of the deceased, I definitely would go after the insurance company of the driver who caused this horrible event.
I was in a cortege and a bright red car nipped in between the Hearse and the family car even though there were little flags on the cars to say to traffic that it was a Funeral procession . I just sat there open mouthed. Blooming cheek.
@@racheldemain1940 Terrible. People don't pay attention nor show any signs of respect.
Drove by one today and just simply pulled over and bowed my head. I know that where I'm from it's not required to do that, but I did it because I was taught to do so.
Thank you to the Funeral home that stepped in a assisted.....thank you.
FUNERALS DO HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE RESPECT OF THE LAW.......
I'm from SC and our state still stops for funeral processions going by on their way to the cemetery. All states should have a law mandating that cars should stop. It's called respect for the deceased with regards to the family in mourning.
What about if it's on a road with not enough room to stop
So sad glad the 2 men where OK and someone was there to assist
Kudos to the assisting funeral home! I don't even want to think of the condition of the body after being shook up from its original condition. I just hope the family kept it shut!
What? It probably fell forward a few inches onto its face. I doubt it hurt anything much. I wouldn't even bother opening the casket again, I'd just flip it right side up and take it to the cemetery and bury it.
William Walker dink
The deceased came back to life and sang “All shook up”
My condolences to the family and friends who suffered this terrible loss🙏 God bless you 🙏 ❤
Thankfully, the corpse suffered no life-threatening injuries.
"Shannon Kettler is *live* at the scene." Well that's a relief.
KL2010 Yesss, live at the seen, better than dead upon arrival.
KL2010 lol
KL2010 fuck you too
Ernestine Maloy, you must live a miserable life, it’s a joke.
😂😂😂
Damn, y’all don’t know you pull over for a recession just like you would pull over for police sirens, ambulance, fire truck etc.
Your wrong. Thats a courtesy not the law.
RadioRich100 that’s right.
It’s not an emergency so no need to pull over. Yes, that person may be dead, but the maximum ppl should do is slow down not stop. Some people have places to be, unlike the dead one (not intended as disrespect)
....where do they get there license from???...no respect. 😨😒😢😭for the cross overs.
I hope know one was hurt as far as the dead person I feel for the family from the bottom of my heart ❤️
You sure can be happy it was US-Style hearse. Not like ours in europe with all the big glass panes, one of those would have sent the casket flying.
"2 people injured and 1 dead"
@@Scythe69 🤣
Watching this in Lock down here in the UK.
Very sad news all round.
I remember as a child, walking to the shop with my grandmother when a funeral procession drove past. My grandma stood still and pulled at my hand to stand still too. Everyone on the paths stood still, some men taking their hats off too. This was back in the mid-seventies when there were older men who wore a suit and tie daily and never left the house without a hat on. That moment, watching everyone stand still with their heads bowed stayed with me and I still do it to this day
You are supposed to WAIT until the funeral party goes by. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY!!! I'm so sorry about what happened and am happy nobody was hurt.
At least the only death was one that had already occurred
+jdoggg1119 I would say that's insensitive, but it's actually true.
What I wonder, though, is the fate of the casket and body.
If you had bothered to watch the video, it was transferred to another hearse and planted as intended.
agree
That's hilarious!!! 3-29-2020
The driver who caused this accident is in serious 😡 trouble
Terri Green finna pull on dem hoez
He is not only in serious trouble, but also has to bear the responsibility for crashing into the hearse. If the family was to charge him, he will surely be sent to jail for obstructing a solem procession. This is no respect for the family of the deceased.
His immediate family : ...Chuck was ACTUALLY late to his own funeral...I’ll be damned...
Thank goodness for that funeral home but this still has got to be the most devastating thing ontop of saying your final goodbyes.
We need a law for the whole world if you see a Hearse Pull over and let the people through no matter how long it takes if you're late to work while you're stopped call your boss treat it like an ambulance or police no matter what so this doesn't happen.
Samantha, it is on it's way. God Bless!
That would cause very bad things!
People have important places to be, like at work or it’s an emergency, but the dead don’t. They have all the time.
Honestly I’d stop only if there is an actual emergency. A hearse isn’t.
And this is why people should have and pay respect for other people's funerals 🤦♂️
OMG that's so horrible. What how in the world could this even happen. My heart goes out to this family.
that driver of the red car had to be speeding to make a hearse flip upside down
I was just thinking that... you'd have to really be cookin' to make a Cadillac hearse flip over with a Camry - that idiot will be riding in the back of a hearse themselves before too long...
Some in other cultures would say that this was a message from the deceased.
To avoid accidents with hearses: Stop at red light. Don't speed. The passenger in the hearse has got enough time, believe me.
No need to ignore traffic rules while on the way to the indefinite rest. No reason to hurry at all.
And... insted of having 40 (?) cars in a motorcade, it would be much more environmental friendly to rent a coach (or two).
Also, coach drivers usually know how to drive and how to avoid accidents.
Died 2 times
Death at a Funeral
Smh
You wrong😂😂
Now I’m going to hell thanks
😂🤦🏾♀
DAMN SHAME, SO SAD FOR THE FAMILY,THANK GOD, THE DRIVER AND PRIEST ARE OKAY
Wow this is sad but how do you continue to the Cemetery I'm not joking about it..but wouldn't you want to take the body back and fix it up I mean the Hearse did flip over.. you wouldn't be just Burying my loved one I need dignity and style.
Andrea, I was wondering the exact same thing
I think the Undertaker who helped them managed to get the deceased loved ones Casket out of the upturned Hearse and into one of his Hearses.
Dispatch: car accident 2 injured one dead.
For fuck’s sake why did I laugh at this 😪
My initial thought 🤭
At least one wasn’t injured 😏
@@tastx3142 theres a special place in hell for your type
That's awful. 2 injured and 1 dead.
dude, this is scary
“Two people injured, one dead”
Which one is dead?
rick thunberg you a fucking idiot
@@matenjor 🤣🤣🤣👍
Man that was fucken hilarious...... Comment of the year.....
Offical Matenjor
Seriously who died of the three?
Unless caused by an unknown illness,I hope the driver of the Toyota was charged. Applause to the bystanders that stopped,the first responders,and funeral home that stepped in to help the family
Now that's what I call a last wild ride.
@JeremyDewitte THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER!
What was the rush? Was he late to a funeral or something? Was the passenger telling him to go faster?
They should've hired Jeremy Dewitte of Metro-State to escort the funeral procession.
vegasmooch I can hear him “Why didn’t you let me protect the hearse SERGEANT!”
Jeremy is busy being an "officer" in Florida.
Someone didn't 50/50 that intersection properly
Motor One I need back up units
Yet another reason I've told my wife..."When I die. Glad bag, shovel, back yard."
lol stfu
PATRIOT PILOT YOU ARE BEYOND HILARIOUS.....
OMG THIS IS TERRIBLE I ONLY COULD IMAGINE HOW THIS FAMILY ALREADY FELT AND ON TOP OF GRIEVING TO HAVE TO ENDURE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS JUST HEART BREAKING PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY AND MAY THEIR LOVED ONE RIP
MAJOR DISRESPECT
turn your radio down keep your eye on the roads U may have to yield for a funeral service driving by or in progress slow down
This video explains why hearses should have amber or any other non-emergency colored lights.
The fact that it's a hearse isn't enough? In Ontario, sure, purple lights indicate a funeral procession but let's be honest, how often do you see a hearse on the goddamn road? Or how about the fact the other vehicles in the procession will be labelled that they're in a procession?
That is one of the saddest things I have ever heard. Had me crying 😭.
What a great story someone has to tell 100 years from now!
My friend Todd used to laugh when he saw a hearse..."hahah! they died!", he'd chortle. Then one day, he was crossing the street and a car hit him and he did die. He's not laughing anymore now.
OH THATS REALLY AWFUL
Smh, now he in hell.
The thing that blows me away is the fact the hurse rolled! A 2014 model year Cadillac DTS alone weights 4,500 pounds, if I remember correctly a hurse converted DTS weights somewhere from 13,500 to 15,250 ibs due to all the added security devices for the casket in Just such a crash, also that Toyota was probably booking it if it flipped that huge thing over.. but other than that I feel bad for the family who had to experience that..
Anne Liesveld there is damage on the passenger side front door, so the hurse has the right of way, the front end would have been destroyed if they T-boned the Toyota. When it hit the hurse most likely lost its center of gravity and rolled over on to its back like you see in the video.
💔💔TRULY HEARTBREAKING💔💔
This happened in ATL last year. A drunk driver crashed into a hearse and flipped over during a funeral.
I hope the driver got his license revoked for causing this.
To the family, may your love one rest in peace. Have a blessed year , and stay safe....
How? There is a universal rule that Hearses are allow to go 15mph, slightly faster if not being used for a procession. The people and cars around stop in their tracks to let the vehicle through. The rules used for police, firefighter and ambulance vehicles also applies for hearses. Why is that hard for people to understand? The individualism of the US is the reason why we are hit with the coronavirus hardest. >_>
That headline is very misleading. The hearse did not crash, it was CRASHED INTO. Yall should really change it, the blame is not on the driver of the hearse, its on the other driver. My heart aches for the family and friends of the deceased who had to witness this.
You could almost say : the body went out with a bang !
Now what does this tell you? Who the hell in the casket dammit.
Police said they found 1 person deceased and 1 injured in the hearse.
Woah 😨 that's really Sad. I'm hoping that the people involved Are okay.✝️🛐☮️💜
People need to pay attention to especially during a funeral recession. It's stupid for a reckless drivers to pass by a funeral recession going on. Total disrespect towards the family and funeral director during the recession of the dead ones
Hey, if I was the guy in the casket, I'd love to have known my final ride was a doozy like that one! I think my survivors would've thought, "Dave just can't do anything usual!" Stuff of legend! Great way to be remembered! My sympathies for those who experienced additional grief. I try to see the humor in life's screwups. Maybe we can see the humor on the other side too.
Carve on the stone
Here lays Dave,
He had TWO last rides.
Now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped turned upside down
FPOBL 😆
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when a body is taking from the other side only God can make things right god bless the family to stay strong at this time Linda j peace ❤️💯🦋🐻 and
my man is wearing louis vuitton sunglasses
Well, someone in the family said something shocking. And the man rolled in his grave.
Looks like the driver in the burgandy car was in a hurry to his funeral.
Of course. I wonder if the driver was drunk.
#hearse #accident
@@dianemilligan3839 Drunk or on weeds
I learnt a lesson from this no rush driving & aggressiveness no no no no we can't insult the Dead
I can't believe this would happen, the escort, whether city police or an escort service uses lights and sirens during the escort. How could this happen, laws here in Arizona require motorists to pull over to the right and not interrupt the procession. I did see a man arrested for complaining when a funeral procession at least a mile long shut down Northern Avenue. The man got testy and making threats to stop the procession, Phoenix Police arrested him. Some have no respect for those that pass on or for their families during the most awful day of their lives. Jail is most appropriate for the violator!!
That wouldn't have been possible if Jeremy Dewitte was an officer in that procession
What about the person who caused the accident?
Why does it take 3 reporters to report this?
yes 2 living people hurt but does the one in the coffin get a mention for any damage?
Holyshit, high risk funerals are a real thing!?!
How does this even happen? Every procession I've been in, and seen, has police escort that BLOCKS all traffic at every intersection.
Thank God nobody has been killed
