A local tradition is to show respect for the deceased by pulling to the right and stopping as a funeral procession passes. Failing to do so labels one quickly as disrespectful and rude, even if that is not how it is done where you came from. You are here now. Show respect and thus receive it in return.

Mountain traditions are still valued here
