Golden Gate Funeral Home was the funeral home involved and they weren't very cooperative with us. I had asked the FH director if there was to be a lead vehicle in front of the coach, he said no, he was it.  I then said okay, we'll line our bikes up behind the coach.  He said there will be NOTHING between the coach and family car, that was their protocol.  There was some discussion but he was pretty adamant.  Later, when I was in with the family and after presenting the certificate, I informed the widow that there may be a problem with us being in the procession, and asked if there was another family member I could talk with to help clear up the misunderstanding, that she didn't need to be dealing with it.  At this point a female representative of GG stepped forward and asked if she could help.  I told her what was going on, she then asked the widow what she wanted us to do, and the widow said she wanted the bikes in front of the family car.  The lady with GG said she will make that happen.  After the service was over, according to Sylvia, there was still some hesitation on the funeral director's part, in fact, he was arguing with the escorts as to which route to take.  The escort officer firmly told him, "The route is our job, we're going this way, you just take care of what you need to.  And by the way, the PGR will line up behind the coach, in front of the family car, because that is the way it's always done."  Or, as Sylvia so succinctly put it when she messaged me, "Sgt Blue of the escort team told the director how the cow was gonna eat the cabbage!"  Sylvia said the procession went very smoothly, she was very happy with it, but thinks the director of GG wasn't too thrilled.  Bottom line, the family's wishes were honored and that was all we wanted.
