If you are getting paid salary why does your employer use up your personal days and sick days for a funeral?

Your son is in prison your mom passed away yesterday who do you contact to get a temporary release from prison so your son can attend your moms funeral?

My condolences to you and your family.

Who can do funeral escort on motorcycles by law?

These regulations vary greatly from state-to-state and jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction but are usually contained in the state DMV codes. If motorcycle funeral escorts are done by ANYONE ELSE except law enforcement personnel, they do not necessarily have the authority to proceed through red lights (UNLESS the cortege has already entered the intersection on a green light and the light changes before the procession clears the intersection). Check with your local law enforcement agency for further information specific to your location.

edit by Redsup;

This is not always the case.

Several states grant non-law enforcement funeral escorts the legal rights of any emergency vehicle, including but not limited to entering an intersection on a red light.

The legalities on funeral escorts varies wildly from state to state, so as the above poster suggested, it is a good idea to check the statutes of the state in which you reside.

Are morticians white-collar or blue-collar workers?

The mortician would be considered white-collar, both figuratively and literally. Morticians often are required to have college training, followed by two years of internship. Gravediggers are blue-collar workers, whom the moritician depends on to get the grave dug so the casket can be lowered. An embalmer often wears scrubs, so I guess he could be considered green-collar! :P Seriously, surgeons wear scrubs, yet no one denies that profession is white collar.
