Traffic laws are a state matter so it depends on the laws in your particular state. Many states have laws that govern funeral processions and some of those laws specifically include a special exemption for emergency vehicles. Some have laws that cover only processions that have a police escort. Some state have no laws on that topic.
On the other hand, all states have laws that mandate the right of way for emergency vehicles with firetrucks often having the superior ROW.

How does one yield right of way to an Ambulance on an expressway?
As an EMT, I work on the ambulance a lot and I've seen many ways people try to get out of the way of an ambulance.
