## Abstract

An automobile funeral light including a housing assembly, an electronic assembly, and an attaching assembly. Housing assembly includes a housing with a hollow body and a lid placed in a rear side thereof. Electronic assembly is housed inside the housing, having a plurality of LED strobes placed on the lateral sides, top side, and bottom sides of the housings, wherein the plurality of LED strobes is actuated wirelessly by means of an integral remote device and/or by means of a button placed on the housing. A rechargeable battery placed inside the housing powers the plurality of LED strobes. Attaching assembly includes a magnet, wherein the magnet is placed in a rear side of the housing and is used to be removably attachable to a vehicle, thereby the LED strobes provides warning visibility to oncoming traffic during a procession.

## Claims
