Do you mean traveling in the opposite direction, coming towards you? There is nothing that you need do.

You could pull over. I know alot of people treat it as if it were an ambulance or fire truck.

- Unless you're driving an emergency vehicle, you must pull to the shoulder to allow a funeral procession to pass by. If you don't, it's a traffic violation. - Cars in a funeral procession may proceed through intersections "regardless of any traffic control devices or right of way provisions." - If you're part of a procession, you must have your lights on. Chances are you wouldn't receive a ticket if you didn't light up, but you might. - Except in cases of gross negligence, the funeral home won't be held responsible for any death that occurs in a traffic accident involving a funeral procession. As if this topic weren't morbid enough.
