Basics You Should Notice When Selecting Funeral Flags
The passing of a loved ones brings many small details that will need attending. One such situation is getting all mourners from the funerary service location to the place where the body will be interred. Certain protocols are in place to assist with this, including the use of specially designed funeral flags.
The parade of mourners following the remains of an individual from the location of services to the site of interment is known as a procession.

The chain is led by the hearse with the deceased inside.

The next place is held by the cars, frequently limousines, that carry the parents, spouse, significant other or children of the departed one. Immediate family will follow the limos and all others mourners will fall in behind them.

Other tools, such as banners, may be used to identify members belonging to the group of bereaved travelers to bystanders. There are multiple types of these products that may be utilized for this purpose.

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.
