Cortege (noun) – A ceremonial procession.
Origin
Cortege is related to the Old French word “curt” which means “an enclosed yard.” By the 1600s, it was referred to “a train of attendants.”
As the cortege neared the downtown section more cars joined it. The hearse was followed by six Packard touring cars with tops back, driven by liveried chauffeurs and filled with flowers.
