While I obviously think stopping for any and every funeral procession -- especially for people you never knew (why don't we all have a moment of silence out of respect for all people who died somewhere in this world during the past minute -- then we can do it again next minute), I do see value in the procession.
Mostly because there are many people who cannot make it on time to anything and the solemn occasion (for the family) should not be interrupted. Also, there are many with a terrible sense of direction, and those who don't know the city at all because they are from out of town/state. For those people, many who may already be stressed, it is important that a way be made for them.
But still, as an alternative, maybe instead of a hearse, flower car, and other assorted private vehicles, we should allow people to charter multiple buses - draped in funeral "regalia" so that everyone can get there together - driven by professionals with no emotional attachments.
Are you real? Buses draped in funeral "regalia?" <smh>

Why not, it's better than having 20-40 individual cars going through traffic lights.
