[Avodah] May Kohanim visit the Rebbe's Ohel by means of a "box"?

[Richard Wolpoe]

ON a cold wintry New England Day - I think it was President's Day -, a
funeral was conducted in the YI of West Hartford for its former president.

In oure relatively small community there were numerous Kohanim.  In order
to  keep the Kohanim from having to suffer outside in the cold, the niftar
had given a tzivuy to leave HIM in his casket in the hearse outside - so as
to permit the Kohanim to come INSIDE for the  hespeidim. And AFAIK no
Kohanim precede to the cemetery

=======================================================================

I conducted a funeral for a bas Kohen a few months ago.  Her great nephews
all came and stood outside of the funeral home and drove along to the burial
in Trenton, NJ. But AFAIK the Kohanim made no attempt to go inside the fence
of the beis olam.
