Abstract
A funeral procession warning apparatus includes a base unit having top and bottom sides and defining an interior cavity. A hollow pole extends upwardly from the top side and includes a light at its free end. A rechargeable battery is positioned within the cavity and is electrically connected to the light for delivering current thereto when a switch is properly positioned. A flag having indicia indicative of a funeral procession is coupled to the pole. A male connector is electrically connected to the battery and extends through the bottom side of the base unit. The apparatus includes a recharging unit having a socket for selectably mating with the male connector for recharging the battery when the recharging unit is connected to a power source. A receiver may be positioned in the cavity for allowing current delivery to the light source upon receiving a signal from a remote transmitter.
