I definitely do. Especially ambulances and firetrucks.
A good ambulance driver can turn my 30min commute into a 20 minute commute

Police escort the procession here in Kentucky. There is no reason to pull over. Traffic is simply stopped, allowing the procession to travel unimpeded to the cemetery. Why on Earth would you pull off the road

This isn't entirely true. There are a couple significant considerations to take into account insofar as whether or not you might pull over for an emergency vehicle in the south:
1) What color are the lights on this emergency vehicle (if red, then you pull over and out of the way to let them pass)
and if those lights happen to be blue...
2) Did you do anything to make those blue lights come up behind you so fast that might include prison time if you DO pull over?

I’ve never turned my lights on. That’s for the people in the procession. But I can see how it may be respectful to the people in mourning.
I’ve always pulled over and make the sign of the cross.

Not in Colorado. It's liberal disrespect out here in this Godless territory.

One day I will die, but I will be pissed if someone slows down traffic, that is not in the funeral procession coming down the road.

In suburban NY you don't stop completely but you do slow down (a lot). Few of us wear hats (you guys wear hats down south? I guess maybe cowboys but...) but those rare guys that might have some kind of headgear (a New York Mets cap for example) of course that will be removed. We are not animals up North.

"people don't pull over for emergency vehicles in the south"
Us "rude northern jerks" will almost always pull over to the side if it' s an ambo for fire or cop car. You never know when it will be you needing a quick ride with your chest pains to the ER. It take a few seconds and then you go back on the road, why would anyone not do this? Even in rude NY we do this.

I live in Kentucky . 2 weeks ago i went to a funeral, for a closed casket "ceremony" . I knocked on the coffin for 10 minutes, and asked where was my Venmo for a P6 at Saratoga. Unfortunately, I didn't get a response. Later, I talked to the funeral director, and asked if he could add on some kinda miscellaneous "charge."

I liv in Kentucky; very few people pull over for Emergency vehicles. As for funeral processions, I mirror what everyone else is doing on the road. If I'm in Lexington, we move very slowly, aside from an idiot or two who decide it's not worth their time. In outer towns, we usually pull over. I've been in three in the last year. Most people pull over/slow way down.

The correct answer.

When I was growing up (in the Northeast) my mom would pull over AND turn the radio off. Now, cars still pull over for Ambulances or cop cars.... but Ive recently noticed that no one gives a f about a funeral and have seen people change lanes into the procession to try and pass it. Its prob due to the fact that there are no repercussions

In my travels, it looked like most people pulled over wherever I was.
Never been to NYC, unless you count airports, but I haven't found folks upstate to be rude at all.

No, drivers do not pull over or turn lights on.They do stop at green lights and let funeral go through the red light until entire funeral procession has passed.
Lights on means you are in the funeral procession.
I saw a Chinese woman T-bone a funeral car at an intersection. Go figure.
