Who are honorary pallbearers?

Family members who carry the casket
Friends of the family or organization members who act as an escort
Clergy members participating in the service
Hospital staff attending the funeral

The correct answer is: Friends of the family or organization members who act as an escort

Honorary pallbearers are indeed typically friends of the family or members of an organization who act as an escort during the funeral service. They do not physically carry the casket, but their presence signifies respect and recognition for the deceased. Honorary pallbearers often provide emotional support and honor the individual’s legacy by participating in the ceremony, standing alongside the active pallbearers who carry the casket. This role is significant as it allows individuals who may not be able to take on the physical responsibility of carrying the casket to still participate in a meaningful way. This distinction is important to acknowledge the various ways people can show their support and respect for the deceased and their family during the grieving process.
