funeral procession
Hearse-led solemn parade
A funeral procession is the formal movement of mourners, vehicles, and the hearse carrying a deceased person's body from one location to another—typically from a funeral service to a burial site.
By custom and often by law, other traffic yields to a funeral procession: Cars pulled over as the funeral procession passed.
The slow, solemn convoy serves as both practical transport and public acknowledgment of death.
