Most funreal processions here in our area of Michigan are lead by the hearse displaying purple flashing lights. Following cars display orange flags. Funeral processions have right of way. Usually what this means is that the leading vehicle will observe the traffic signals, and those following will continue, even though the traffic light changes. Usually, if a procession passes through a major intersection there will be a police officer directing traffic. Last procession I was in, a rescue unit blocked and directed traffic, as police were not available. This was a for a veteran, and there was a PU truck with amber over head flasher, and yellow sign on front indicating a motorcycle procession, followed by numerous cycles from the Patriot Guard, then the hearse and conventional procession. Many oncoming traffic will pull over while procession passes, but this is "kind of optional", as long as traffic does not interfere with procession.
My problem is that purple lights on hearse is typically very hard to see, as is not very bright. Other complaint is that often they run short of flags, and last vehicles in procession are not properly identified.
