In the lane opposite of me? Of course not. In my lane? Sure.

This is how I do it. Also with ambulances. Nothing worse than someone slamming their brakes for an ambulance coming down the other side of the hwy.

Yes.

I take the time to remind myself that I will go out the same way. It's good to take a pause here and there.

I normally try to weave in to the precession that way I can run all the red lights on the way to work.
I figure the dead guy won't care.

Yes. Proper etiquette is to honor the dead and the families

Show some respect

This is just the police escort to get them through all the red lights. I don't know of any law that states you have to pull over for a funeral procession. I could be wrong though.

It always kind if pulls me up short to think about the fact that while my life is going on about it's day, someone else's life is falling apart in that moment, and I feel like if I can't stop long enough for that then I'm a little less human than I should be.
