I don’t disagree with anything you said. Well said.
Except.... “Last year we were in one in Columbus at rush hour...”
Rush hour? Really? Sorry, but that’s poor planning. In fact that was rude and inconvenient to host a procession during rush hour.
Wait, why is it rude and inconvenient to host a procession during rush hour?
Which is more important, your schedule or respect for the dead and their family? Maybe the one’s being disrespectful and rude are those expecting the family of the deceased to go out of their way to not inconvenience the rest of society.
There’s just something wrong about doing that. Is your schedule so full and so important that you can’t even pay your respects to a funeral procession as it passes?
Not my choce for religions reasons it as at sundown which meant being in rush hour to be there att he right time.
