Another Show of Disrespect for Funeral Cars
It seems like every other week or so, we have a story about a driver who has completely disrespected a procession of funeral cars on their way to a loved one’s final burial site. Here is another one of those stories.
This story comes from a newspaper in Massachusetts – The Berkshire Eagle. While mourners were following the procession of Sam Dellea, the owner of Stockbridge Motors, a driver with a canoe strapped to the roof of his car worked his way into the middle of the procession of funeral cars. There was no way the driver could not have known this was a funeral procession as it was escorted by police, a dozen flatbed carriers and flags on the funeral cars in the lineup.
The driver worked his way into the procession while it was passing the Red Lion Inn. It was a sad display of carelessness and selfishness during a time when a man who gave back to his community was being honored.
Unfortunately, this probably happens every day in America. It does not always get reported, of course, but we have simply lost our sense of respect and decorum. Just look at the recent outbursts that have made the news – from the MTV awards show to Congress. Disrespect has become an epidemic in our society. How do we get it back? Do you have any ideas?
