Prinicipal Mourner- more often the Coffin- as a hearse is a motor vehicle running at road speeds! This writer fulfilled this task- on foot- in front of my Mother"s casket at the funeral mass. The eldest Survivor in the direct family usually has this assignment.

The person who walks BEHIND the casket on entering the church at a funeral is the closest living relative- and is called the Principal Mourner. I fulfilled this task almost exactly a year ago ( 3.l2.l0) for my Mother.
