Funeral Procession Right of Way

Q: I was wondering if there is a law pertaining to passing a funeral procession. I know that you stop and let them proceed through a stop sign or traffic light, but are you suppose to stop your car and let them go past if they are going in the opposite direction. Two times this summer, all of the cars stopped until they passed.

A: There is. Indiana Code 9-21-13 covers funeral processions and states that funeral processions have the right of way in traffic. This should imply that the right of way should be given across the entire roadway, for the length of the procession (cars with flags or headlights illuminated)
