# Someone who sees the coffin of a deceased being transported needs to stand up and also escort it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 361:3-4</ref> The reason we stand at a levaya is to honor those who transporting the coffin and doing a chesed.<ref>Tur YD 361:4 citing the Yerushalmi writes that we stand at a levaya to honor those doing a chesed for the deceased and not for the deceased himself. The Taz 361:2 broadens this concept to standing for anyone doing a mitzvah. His proof is the gemara Kiddushin 33a that everyone is supposed to stand for those bringing Bikkurim to Yerushalayim to honor those doing a mitzvah.</ref> | # Someone who sees the coffin of a deceased being transported needs to stand up and also escort it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 361:3-4</ref> The reason we stand at a levaya is to honor those who transporting the coffin and doing a chesed.<ref>Tur YD 361:4 citing the Yerushalmi Bikkurim 3:3 writes that we stand at a levaya to honor those doing a chesed for the deceased and not for the deceased himself.
