Is it normal to stop in the middle of traffic for a funeral procession?

So I was driving on a busy road, and in the complete other direction, (a median dividing the streets) a funeral procession was passing by, and I wasn’t in their way whatsoever. The guy in front of me just stopped in the middle of the road, as I was going 55. I had to slam on my brakes.

I don’t get why people’s superstitions of respecting the dead by stopping their car should have to put people’s lives at risk. In any other instance, it would be considered reckless driving. What are your thoughts? And do you think I’m being insensitive?
