Saluting Policeman & respect

It seems to be normal these days when in a funeral cortage to see other drivers jump in between the hearse & the other cars, or race past dangerously; happened today & always is so infuriatingly disrespectful.

At the start of my ministry you would sometimes see older people generally stand still & bow their heads or take off their hats when a hearse went past. Cant remember the last time i saw that happen.

Seeing as we all have to one day make the same journey you would think that people would so a bit more respect.

Then today out of the blue I saw a Policeman while travelling to the crematorium stop walking, turn to face the road & salute. First time I've seen that for a very long time.

That should surely be the kind of respect we show those who have died. Shame it isnt.
