Andrew Judd, chief executive of the National Association of Funeral Directors, agreed it was a problem. He said: "We are seeing more instances where other drivers fail to show respect to funeral corteges, cutting in or overtaking without consideration. "It's not only upsetting for the family following their loved one, but it can also be dangerous. Horses can be easily spooked, and funeral directors who walk in front of the hearse are put at real risk." M Judd said a little patience and understanding "makes all the difference" and shows dignity and respect "in a moment that matters deeply to those who are grieving". He lamented the days when people would stand pause as a hearse passed by. "The days of doffing a cap sadly seem long gone," he added.
