Was it part of the funeral parade?

I think it was part of the funeral parade, or at the end of it.  I remember seeing some written words on paper or fabrics placed inside one such carriage.  These spectators were either admiring the caligraphy, or wanting to know more about the deceased.

Thanks OldTimer, I'll add it to the group.
