When attending a funeral where there will be a procession to a cemetery or church, we will always have a staff member available to help you park.
Highlights of Pennsylvania's Funeral Processional Law:
1. The driver of a vehicle that is being driven in a funeral procession may proceed past a red signal indication if the lead vehicle started through the intersection while the light was green. In the case of a stop sign, the lead vehicle must first come to a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection.
2. The privileges above apply only if each vehicle in the procession displays lighted head lamps and emergency flashers and bears a flag or other insignia designating it as part of a funeral procession.
3. The law does not relieve the drivers in a procession from driving with due regard for the safety of all persons or from yielding the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle making use of audiĀble or visual signals.
4. The law authorizes an agent or employee of the funeral director to direct, control or regulate traffic during a funeral.
5. Funeral processions shall not be interrupted by any vehicle other than an emergency vehicle. Processions are exempt from the requirement of allowing space between vehicles to enabled others to merge with the procession (also with the exception of emergency vehicles).
