You must be referring to a Catholic funeral where a brief rite is held at the door of the church when the priest receives the casket containing the deceased at the beginning of a funeral Mass. He then leads the procession to the front of the church.
When Queen Elizabeth comes to Canada, I'm standing in the front line, so I can watch her procession as she passes by with her entourage.
I think it might symbolize the cleansing of sins of the deceased's soul before burial. any other thoughts? Edit: That water is the water they used to bathe the corpse. It had become an Irish tradition to hold it back, then later throw it in front of the funeral procession.
in front so every one can see it
It is no particular character, just a soldier.

It refers to the funeral procession of vehicles and mourners to the cemetery and is like entourage, one might use almost parade or convoy but they have more upbeat connotations, sure there is pomp and ceremony- and nearly always like Army Convoys, the headlights of ALL vehicles are on. I remember riding the front car of my father"s funeral cortege and remarked to the driver, that ( is it true that hearses have beefed up generators to handle the extra load on the electrical system) and he replied- yes, like those on Army trucks . Convoy= all running lights on! Cortege is of French origin and is almost entirely applied to funeral processions. ont he other hand- a Convoy of troop transports headed for Normandy!
The character on the front of volume 23 is Kyoko, Tohru's mother.
