why do the funeral director walk in front of the car?
Best Answer:
The funeral director walking in front of the hearse here in UK is a mark of respect for the departed and to honour the dead. It also allows people in the street an opportunity to income their respects by nodding towards the slowly passing hearse. In the not too distant past, men would remove their hats and cap in respect for the deceased as the hearse passed by in the street. If you've get the money, this is the finest way to go, in a horse drawn hearse - top element, the very best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJYnqBtDGGo If you are in New Orleans, you can still have a horse drawn hearse, but you'll also stipulation a jazz band to slow march you there and after to quick march the party stern for the drinks etc. Whoever plays at my funeral ain't never gonna beat this - the one, the only Mister Louis Armstrong. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLjbMBpGDA I know that my Redeemer liveth..
They 'page' in front of the hearse as a smudge of respect.
