I Followed My Brother's Advice

An hour ago I saw a funeral procession passing from in front of my house.There were around 100 people in the procession;but none of them was from among my acquaintances. I remember my elder brother advising me to bow to the deceased person and pray for him when I happen to see a funeral procession?? I did exactly that. And I'm remembering my elder brother also who too had passed away in 2005. Do you pray for the departed soul when you come across a funeral procession??

No, we do not pray for people we do not know, but we bow and we do the sign of the cross.

@LadyDuck. Making the sign of cross is the same.You too pray;though in a different way.

@Shivram59 It's just a way to show respect to the deceased person.
