Stopping a Procession at the Drive-Thru<\/p><\/div>\n

The funeral procession has long been a part of traditional burial plans. When a loved one is being buried at a cemetery located some distance from the funeral itself (either at a funeral home or at a separate church), it is customary for the guests to form a line of cars to accompany the hearse to the burial site. Depending on the distance, this could be a quick journey through a stoplight or a lengthy trip requiring attendants to direct traffic.<\/p>\n

These days, more and more families are looking for ways to personalize a funeral, and the procession provides a unique opportunity for that to happen—especially if the deceased had a love of a particular drive-thru restaurant. In one instance, a Pennsylvania family honored their loved one with a trip through Burger King<\/a>, where everyone ordered his favorite burger on the way to the cemetery.<\/p>\n

Whether the deceased loved a particular coffee stand or enjoyed takeout burgers, there are many different ways to interpret this idea. And with the right planning, it can be pulled off successfully.<\/p>\n
