Funeral procession

Have you ever seen a big group of cars driving together with flashing lights on top of them? That's a funeral procession.

When someone passes away, their family and friends want to remember them and say goodbye. Sometimes they have a special ceremony called a funeral where they can say some words about the person and remember all the good things they did in their life.

After the funeral, the person who passed away is taken to their final resting place. This is usually a cemetery where they will be buried, or sometimes a crematorium where their body is turned into ashes.

To show respect for the person who passed away, their family and friends will drive in a line of cars called a funeral procession. The cars will have special flags and flashing lights to make sure that other cars know to give them space and be quiet. They don't want to disturb the people who are saying goodbye to their loved one.

The funeral procession is a way to show that the person who passed away was very special to a lot of people and that they will be missed. It's a way to say goodbye and show respect for someone who meant a lot to us.
