Halakhah for Sanhedrin 37:4

מת לו מת כו': ת"ר (ויקרא כא, יב) ומן המקדש לא יצא לא יצא עמהן אבל יוצא הוא אחריהן כיצד הן נכסין והוא נגלה הן ניגלין והוא נכסה:

[this means,] he shall not go out with them, but he may go after them. How so? — When they [the other mourners] disappear, he may reveal himself [to the public]; and when they appear [in a street], he must be hidden [in another].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. notes on Mishnah.

Meir will tell you: in that case,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the verse is meant literally. ');">⁸</span>
