   The lead car (with the deceased), and the follow up (with the family) have   
   purple flashing lights.  The rest have purple flags.  If there is a police   
   cruiser, he or she, usually stops at the intersection with lights flashing   
   while the rest of the party goes thru (if necessary).  There will always be   
   some idiot who thinks they dont have to stop for a funeral crossing their path.   
    In many case, traffic going either way, moves over to the side where possible,   
   and stops.
