You may have noticed that vehicles traveling in a funeral procession often have their headlights on, even in the middle of the day.

The reason is simple: headlights help other drivers recognize that the vehicles are traveling together as part of a funeral procession. Depending on state and local laws, funeral processions may also receive certain right-of-way considerations.

If you encounter a funeral procession on the road, a little patience can go a long way. Allowing the vehicles to remain together is a small gesture of respect for a family accompanying their loved one to their final place of rest.

Sometimes, the simplest acts of courtesy can mean more than we realize.

Did you know the Civil War had a major influence on modern funeral practices in the United States?

While embalming had existed in other cultures for centuries, its widespread use in America began during the Civil War. Many soldiers died far from home, and embalming made it possible to preserve their bodies for the journey back to their families.

After President Abraham Lincoln was embalmed following his death, public awareness and acceptance of the practice grew even more. Over time, embalming became a more common part of funeral service in the United States and continues to be used today when families choose it.
