yes, i would. most likely, take a detour.

there was some thread a while ago about running in a cemetery while a session is in progress.

Faced that dilemma twice in 27 years. Stopped both times, stood up straight, removed hat, faced
cortège, bowed head as coffin went past, waited until main mourners has gone by, then replaced hat
and continued my run. Cost me 90 seconds max, and I'd behaved in a manner that made me proud.

When I was stationed at Fort Leavenworth, KS in 1995 for CGSC, the powers that be forbid running
through the cemetery, and wasn't keen on folks running *by* it either--whether or not a funeral was
in progress.

I keep running to try to forestall being the guest of honor in a funeral procession for as long as
possible. I would however not run in a cemetery where a service was taking place nor through the
parking lot of a funeral home or Church when some sort of service was going on.
