Funerals and Fast Paced World

Have we completely lost all respect for the dead and the mourning? I was at a funeral on Ash Wednesday, a real connection for the “Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return.” But as I was driving in this procession from the church to the cemetery, there were only a hand full of cars that stopped and waited for the procession to stop. Most people just flew by us, like they were completely oblivious to what was happening. I was taught in drivers ed. to constantly be aware of the cars and what was happening around me. These drivers seemed to have no clue there was a funeral procession. The thing that really got me going on this was the person who cut in front of me to get over in another lane, about 1/2 a mile down the road. He just pushed right in between me and another car, not worrying about how he might cause some of us to not be able to follow the procession if a light changed while he was in the line. He was concerend about himself and where he needed to be and how his life was going. He had no thought at all for this family who had just lost a loved one, he seemed to only be concerned with the few minutes he would lose by waiting for the 3 cars behind me to go by him to get over.
Are we that infatuated with ourselves that the world around us is not even visable? And if so what kind of Gospel message are we spreading?
