In that situation I'd go round it. I think most people would tbh.
Not disrespectful to just drive past. If you went hoofing past like a goon then fair enough.

Gregg, it was just after the roundabout near the fire station with petrol station in it.
I didn't exactly go fast by it, but I was accelerating because I passed most of the procession on the round about, because I didn't know what the hold up was, until I was doing 40mph and going passed the funeral cars.

Dont worry about it.
When I've been to funerals of people in girlfriends family they get a bit funny about this kind of thing. Think that because they are in a funeral procession everyone else should stop/get out the way for them. Get a bit OTT about it all.

I just about ran into a herse (sp?) a couple of weeks ago. Was doing the lunch run for my work in the van, so obviously had to kick the cunt out of it Came round a bend to find a herse and about 10 cars pulling out into the road very very slowly. Thought i was going to wipe out the whole funeral! Thought to myself after it, thats probably the most unlucky thing you can crash into

At least it would be one less person to kill
