Stopping for a funeral

I just witnessed a special and equally sad but beautiful moment as I was driving out of Enniscorthy towards home.

I know many of you will relate to this but here in Wexford our towns will often come to a halt when a funeral passes through.

I was driving out of town and noticed traffic ahead and a quick look on the opposite side told me there was a funeral approaching in the distance. I quickly pulled the car into a side street, stopped the engine and got out onto the main road and stood silent. I noticed others do the same and in particular, a local shop with all its staff outside in the rain, silent, hands held together in front of them. I did the same.

I stood for the 10 minutes or so until the hearse and loved ones passed. I didn’t know the person or the family, I just kept my head bowed and thought of them.

Out front was a lone biker with balloons tied to his bike, fluttering in the wind, while behind the hearse and the people walking were surely 100+ bikers - all slowly moving and at one instance revving their bikes and creating such a sound like you couldn’t describe. I heard it once at a funeral before and to me it echoes our old keening tradition - it’s a sound that I can’t describe - a cry almost - a sound that registers even more at these sad, still and silent times.

At the end of the day, all it took me and the other people who did the same, a short few minutes out of our day to stop and think of the dead and the loved ones, irrespective of if we knew them at all. I noticed a couple of people in their cars who couldn’t read the situation, but the vast majority did. Engines stopped and waiting.

I also hope you reading this will do the same whenever you see a similar scene. It’s a powerful and a very human thing to do and you’d hope it brings comfort for the family and friends in their difficult time.

It’s a tradition I hope we never loose - as someday - we too will take comfort and strength at the sight of people who stood with us when we are burying a loved one.
