Doesn't seem to have been that bad. Even though limousines are not a common feature to the funeral business in my country, newer hearses based in small coupé-utilities (including the Fiat Strada) have been quite common.

it's illegal in the UK to overtake a funeral vehicle, even apparently if it's empty (hearse) - which is probably why sadists are over represented in the funereal industries (I love the smell of 17mph & suppressed rage in the morning).
IIRC in my country it's only illegal to overtake a funeral procession, which is usually identified by the roof-mounted lights turned on, but otherwise it's not illegal to overtake a funeral vehicle even if it's hauling remains.
