John; The person in the coffin was probably a peace officer. The patrol cars were 1) a courtesy escort to the dead (slain?) officer &/or 2) representative of the different departments the dead officer had worked for during his/her career.

When I was on the bus going |to from Edwarsville to Granite City. I saw cars that |had the body in a funeral car and stuff okay. No big |deal you usually see this, but however there were three | |cops cars for it. One was city cop, was one a sherrif |one I think and I forgot what the other one was. How |come three cop cars? Myself don't like to be around |them at dark time. Josh and I were riding our bike |home in the dark, we were very close to home. We saw a |morgue(sp) car at a house. They were pulling out a |dead body when we went by. Boy was it a scary sight. |John | |--- |John Evans |Maryville AG |" " Royal Rangers |Opost 7th |IL | |On Fri, 12 Mar 1999 23:15:54 Spirit Rider wrote: |>All, |>Though you'd get a kick out of this. |>Later, |>Noel"Spirit Rider"Bell |> |>> >A newly appointed young preacher was contacted by the local funeral |>> >director to hold a graveside committal service at a small country |>> >cemetery in Iowa.
