A heartfelt plea from a funeral director has touched the community, urging drivers to show respect and patience during funeral processions. In Pontypridd, Morgan Vowles Funeral Directors have voiced concerns over impatient drivers trying to cut between hearses and limousines. Such actions not only show a lack of respect for the deceased and their families but also risk causing accidents.
The funeral director has asked everyone to remember that a hearse intentionally travels at around 20mph out of respect for the life being honoured. This might slow you down for a moment, but they’re asking everyone to consider the importance of this final journey.
On social media, they’ve highlighted the increasing frequency of this issue: “More drivers are trying to push in between our processions, sometimes causing near accidents. This is someone’s final journey and deserves respect. Even if it makes you a few minutes late, think about the grieving families.”
Let’s all take a moment to remember the significance of these processions. Life is precious, and a little patience can go a long way. Share your thoughts and experiences with us!
