A funeral procession is a procession, usually in motor vehicles or by foot, from a funeral home or place of worship to the cemetery or crematorium.[1][2] In earlier times the deceased was typically carried by male family members on a bier or in a coffin to the final resting place.[3] This practice has shifted over time toward transporting the deceased in a hearse, while family and friends follow in their vehicles.[1] The transition from the procession by foot to procession by car can be attributed to two main factors; the switch to burying or cremating the body at locations far from the funeral site and the introduction of motorized vehicles and public transportation making processions by foot through the street no longer practical.[1][4]
