Who died?

I was on Mass Ave around 12:30 between Porter and Davis and this huge funeral procession came through with 10 Cambridge Police officers escorting it...
who died locally that would have had a police escort like that and a huge funeral procession?

I'm really curious...

Yeah

Yeah, when driving around the Somerville area, I dread seeing those little orange flags. There are several churches and funeral homes right near Tufts where I live/go to school, and getting stuck behind 80 cars all going to the same place is obnoxious. I don't think they happen every week, but I think it's pretty common in the Catholic community around here (I'm from a few towns away and see them at home too) to have the big procession from the church to the cemetary, blocking up traffic along the way :)
