What You Should Notice When Choosing Funeral Car Flags
A great many small details need be attended when one is charged with planning a loved one's final arrangements. Among these is ensuring that all the bereaved are able to find the interment site when memorial services are held at a different location. One way to do this is to use funeral flags and everyone travel as a group from one place to another.
The line of mourners traveling together from service's location to interment site is called a funerary procession. Though some groups and cultures do a slow, mournful walk to the grave side, it is more common to use vehicles in this day and age. The lead position is always given to the hearse, which bears the body or ashes of the one being honored.
The processional line up usually begins with the hearse, which transports the body or remains of the one being mourned. Then comes the limousine, or car that holds the deceased's spouse, parents, children or significant other. Next in order are immediate family members followed by all other vehicles carrying mourners.
Though many times funerary processions are granted a police escort to ensure the group travels uninterrupted, additional methods may also be used. Banners, normally supplied by the Home handling the arrangements, are a traditional way to identify those included in the group. There are several different styles available.
Many services utilize banners that wrap across the hood of the vehicle like a large ribbon. Still others opt to use a version that has the pennant attached to a plastic staff that is held up by the car door window. Yet another option are those mounted on a magnetic base that adheres securely to most any metal or vinyl automobile top.
These average staff of these products is about twelve inches and made of a strong, yet flexible plastic. The pennants are thick material in an easily noticed size of approximately 6 x 9 inches. Though they come in several colors, orange, white or purple with a cross of a contrasting color in the center are most common.
