Plenty of other ways to show respect beyond causing people to miss connections.
I was on a flight a few years ago with remains from WWII and they just had the escort and family deplane first and then everyone else deplane. But, this was also at PHL, so there weren't any connections to miss. In that case, it was no big deal.
