Procession to Lead Car

“I don’t frequent the town where my uncle’s funer-

al took place so I totally missed my grandmother’s

old home when the funeral procession passed by on

the way to the cemetery.

“I felt bad when my cousin told me. I’d recog-

nized the hill but I was looking at the wrong side

of the road, while driving – all the while fearing I

would get cut off or lost on the way.

“Whether it’s driving through a red light or trying

to stick close to the car in front of me, it’s difficult

sometimes to stay in a funeral procession.”

– Excerpt from NYSFDA Opinion: “Keeping Up

with the Hearse” by Edward Munger Jr.

BAY SHORE,NY—

Histori-

cally the funeral procession

has always been viewed by

onlookers with reverence.

Common practice was to

place your hand over your

heart as a symbol or exam-

ple of respect for our de-

parted brothers and sisters.

Yet today all too frequent

processionals are interrupt-

ed and disrupted. Funer-

als are difficult enough and

the last thing you want to

deal with is getting lost.

Funeral director

Joseph M. Bernaudo

has developed an app to help with that.

The

FuneralNav App

lets you follow the

lead vehicle in a funeral procession using

GPS technology. Users have the option of

map tracking navigation or turn by turn

broadcast of the lead vehicle in real time.

“My mission is to connect every partic-

ipant of a funeral in a way never before

possible. FuneralNav will assist your fu-

neral home in providing the most superi-

or service in your area on a day it is needed

most,” says Bernaudo.

“Upon obtaining my license to prac-

tice as a funeral director I made a com-

mitment to serve each family to the best

of my ability. With that said it is my sin-

cere hope that creating this new innova-

tive technology helps ease the stress and

anxiety friends and relatives face during

such a difficult time.”

FuneralNav’s mission first and foremost

is to increase awareness of the value of fu-

neral service to the families we so care for.

Second, we intend to provide simple and

practical solutions to funeral service prac-

titioners so they may best serve the needs

of their customers. Lastly, we will stand

firm in opposition to any who would seek

to diminish or minimize the importance

of caring for both the departed and the

bereaved.

You can download FuneralNav in the

Google Play Store or Apple App Store. For

sonalization options visit www.funeralnav. com or call 631-328-5231.
