It"s a convoy of sorts- an organized procession-so- all participants have the running lights-Position On. I would imagine hearses and limousines used by Funeral directors have beefed-up electrical systems ( generators, distributors) rto handle the extra load.

Can a funeral procession legally ignore red lights?
I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes, but only if it turns red while it is in the intersection. If the light turns before the lead vehicle enters, then no. I work midnights and don't see too many funeral processions. Technically, no. Not at least without a police escort. However, out of respect, most people will stop and allow the procession to go through.
What states is it a law to pull over for a funeral procession?
Short answer is... no. But don't cut across the procession.MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE (EXCERPT)257.654 Vehicles forming part of funeral procession; right-of-way; flags; passing through funeral procession with vehicle as civil infraction.Sec. 654.

The lead vehicle and the last vehicle in the funeral procession may carry an additional flag. The flags shall not contain a name embossed or printed on the flag, except the word "funeral".
