26 September, 2008

An Oregon resident writes about rude drivers in a letter to the editor. Note that the drivers weren’t just being rude, they were in violation of several Oregon statues covering funeral processions. I’ve come to the realization that people are just ignorant of procession laws, since they vary so from state to state. What’s...

In this summary: a funeral home employee steals urns, then sells them for scrap; an SC funeral home recovers from an arson fire; and an NC funeral home has its license suspended. There are apparently no limits for some people. A former funeral home employee trespassed in a Florida cemetery, stole over 100 urns,...

9 April, 2008

Stuff like this still occasionally happens, even up here in Central Ohio. I think the coolest time I ever saw it happen was three or four years ago, when 2 young boys, maybe 11 or 12 years old, stopped what they were doing, stood to, and paid their respects to the procession. It wasn’t...

Up in Shorewood, IL (near Joliet), apparently people get pretty worked up over having to wait for funeral processions. Clara Plut, 20, was recently stuck waiting for a funeral procession (for Troy Fire Protection District Chief Kerry Sheridan) to pass by. I’ve worked firefighter funerals before. They’re big. Think seventy-five cars easy, along with...

30 March, 2005

In this post, I talked about a funny story from work. Just a few days later, a co-worker radioed me with his own story. Seems that he was blocking traffic at the bottom of an off-ramp, as his 35-car procession was coming off the freeway. He was blocking both lanes with his motorcycle when...

What Am I Missing?

18 March, 2005

I’m a funeral escort. That basically means I ride a motorcycle in front of an d along funeral processions, helping surrounding traffic see the procession and respond accordingly. I clear traffic in front of them, help them get on the freeway, and generally try to make their trip to the cemetery safer for everyone...
